What started as simple daily Zoom announcements at  UCHS’s AMS IV has grown into AMS IV TV—a dynamic, student-produced news program streaming live on Instagram and YouTube. More than just a way to share school updates, this initiative is giving students real-world media experience and valuable career skills that will serve them well beyond high school.

From operating cameras, lighting, and audio equipment to taking center stage as news anchors, students are getting hands-on training in media production. But that’s not all—they’re also building essential skills in public speaking, teamwork, time management, and problem-solving as they work together to create professional-quality broadcasts.

Watch AMS IV TV live weekdays at 10:30 AM—or catch archived episodes anytime—at www.youtube.com/@unitedams4.

AMS IV shares a campus with six other schools but lacks access to a public address system, making school-wide announcements a challenge. To bridge this gap, Principal Claubentz Dieujuste launched daily Zoom broadcasts in 2023, ensuring that students, staff, and parents stayed informed.

For the 2024-25 school year, Technology Specialist Mario Mendija and Technology Assistant Alan Taylor took the program to the next level—turning it into a fully equipped news studio. With professional lighting, audio systems, and camera equipment, plus a dedicated student production team, AMS IV TV is now a polished, engaging platform that keeps the school community connected while showcasing the school’s unique identity.

By blending technology, creativity, and communication, AMS IV TV isn’t just reporting the news—it’s preparing students for exciting careers in media, broadcasting, and beyond.
