Students Speaking Out PSA Video Campaign and the Winner is...

High School students enrolled in CCTE video production courses were challenged with making Public Service Announcement Videos for the Students Speaking Out Campaign. The Integrated Youth Services Division in partnership with San Diego Unified School Police Department and San Diego County Crime Stoppers challenged students to create a 30 second to 1 minute long video to empower young people to use their voices to make our schools and communities safer. We believe that students can make a difference in bringing an end to senseless violence and dangerous activities that interfere with young people achieving their dreams. 24 videos were submitted from five different high schools. A judging committee rated the videos using a rubric to give a total score to each and it ended up in a tie! The judging committee decided to select both videos as winners. These videos will be showcased at the San Diego County Crime Stoppers Enough is Enough Luncheon where our students will be honored. The videos will also air on Cox Communications in the upcoming months.


Congratulations to San Diego High School Students Yazmin Diaz and Eduardo Delgado for producing a video on suicide prevention and to Point Loma High School Student Tim Fraher for producing a video on gun awareness. For more information, contact Katherine Aud (619) 725-7329 or kaud@sandi.net.
