“What you do and think and say, and how you look at each other, every single day, has an impact on the person sitting next to you, behind you, beside you.” ~Erahm Christopher, filmmaker

Teen Truth is a film shot by teens that resulted in a raw and real look at what students feel and think. Erahm Christopher, one of the creators of Teen Truth, came to Unalaska and led an Anti-Bully assembly at the high school. He also had a workshop with the teens during his visit. Reanna Marquez and Kayla Nalam showed portions of his talk and chatted with a few students about the message they received.

UCS photojournalism class produces a monthly show Raider Report to inform the public on school and community activities from the students' perspective. Raider Report airs on the first Wednesday of the month on Channel 8 TV Unalaska.
