Student Stories

Radio Class taught by Brad Higinbotham

The SWOS Radio class has partnered with our local radio station, KSJD, since 2007 to produce high quality stories. We have realized the power of stories and believe through storytelling we can, as the ancient historians did, bring the world closer together. Through live storytelling and the edited production of these stories, SWOS students have captured moments of their lives, teaching us lessons and allowing us to know what it means to be human.
