Don wrote the entire curriculum for both levels of Broadcast Technology. In addition, he co-directs and created LHS-TV & Films, a student-produced television station and multimedia publication. His students are responsible for "Ladue View," a 15-minute high school produced television news magazine show. Along with these projects, Don oversees the schools daily video morning announcements "LHS News" and it’s staff of 10 students.
