Raider Highlights

Staff Spotlight

Middle School TV Programs

Hear from two exceptional GMSD teachers who are providing students the experience of running a television studio and participating as news anchors. Students rotate positions within Riverdale's RaiderTV and Houston Middle's MTV, so each student has the opportunity to practice as a news anchor, video editor, cameraman, and teleprompter operator. 

Students are able to gain skill in public speaking, leadership, camera work, and computer skills, and these TV programs can boost our students confidence to propel them further into this path at the high school level and beyond.

Program Spotlight

Envisions Expo

Each year gifted students from all of GMSD's schools come together to share their research at the Envisions Expo! This event allows students to explore their own interests, sharpen their public speaking skills, and fuel their creativity. This year, topics studied included space pollution, the history of treehouses, dreams of interior design and entrepreneurship, and capybaras. 

Hear from our students about their projects, what they learned, and why they chose the topics they did!
