Student Published Work Through Youthcast Media Group Workshop

by RegGoldAdmin January 8, 2025January 8, 2025

Angel Treviño, a senior at Jimmy Carter Early College High School, recently contributed to an impactful story as part of a Youthcast Media Group (YMG) workshop for experienced student journalists.

The workshop, held virtually from Sept. 30 to Nov. 14, 2024, brought together students from across the country to report on the effects of gun violence on community health and explore solutions being implemented to address the issue. Participants worked in small groups guided by professional journalists, conducting interviews with experts and community members.

Treviño collaborated with his team to produce a full-length feature story that examines the challenges faced by youth in the U.S. due to gun violence. The piece highlights the efforts of young advocates working toward change and has been published on YMG’s website.

“This experience helped me improve my writing and understand how journalism can spotlight important issues,” Treviño said.

At Jimmy Carter Early College High School, Treviño is an active member of the UIL Academics Journalism team, where he competes in News Writing, Feature Writing, Editorial Writing, Headline Writing, and Copy Editing. The team is co-coached by Mr. Ivan Silva and Mr. Luis Alaniz, who praised Treviño’s talent and dedication.

“We work very hard at building our students to be skilled, focused, and hardworking,” Silva and Alaniz said. “We have a team of students who go above and beyond and continually develop their skills. Angel is not only a creative individual but very adept at technical writing.”

Treviño’s participation in the YMG workshop also earned him a $250 stipend, reflecting his commitment to the project.Youthcast Media Group provides students with hands-on journalism experiences to amplify their voices and shed light on pressing social issues. The full story is available at Youthcast Media Group’s website.

Honoring the Life and Legacy of Jimmy Carter

Honoring the Life and Legacy of Jimmy Carter

(1924-2024)

“James Earl Carter Jr. is an American politician and humanitarian who served from 1977 to 1981 as the 39th president of the United States. A member of the Democratic Party, he served from 1963 to 1967 in the Georgia State Senate and from 1971 to 1975 as the 76th governor of Georgia.”

Today, we gather as a community at Jimmy Carter Early College High School to celebrate and honor the extraordinary life of our namesake, President Jimmy Carter. A man of profound humanity and unyielding dedication, President Carter transformed lives through his unwavering commitment to service, education, and justice.

From his humble beginnings in Plains, Georgia, to the highest office in the nation, President Carter championed equality, compassion, and opportunity. As President, he prioritized education, founding the Department of Education to solidify its role as the cornerstone of democracy and a pathway to opportunity.

Even after his presidency, his work only grew more impactful. Through his tireless efforts with Habitat for Humanity, he built homes and hope for countless families, and through the Carter Center, he advanced human rights, fought diseases, and monitored elections to promote global peace and fairness.

At our school, we carry forward President Carter’s legacy every day. His life teaches us that leadership is service, humility is strength, and that one person can inspire change for generations. His compassion touched lives across the globe, and his relentless dedication reminds us to strive for a world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Let us commit to carrying his light forward.
