My Project

Tiger-Radio.com will give opportunities to both students and the community via live talk shows, live on-air DJ's, musical performances, and live events hosted from our campus.

High school juniors and seniors will lead as a full radio station management team, while grades 7-10 serve as station interns (Co/Hosts), headed by our operations manager.

This would be a fully functional business within 2 months.

Our station would encourage community involvement by supporting local businesses/vendors, and by incorporating independent artists (our students and the community), into our rotations, along with today's hits.

The mission is to grant our students and community the skills and opportunities to be active and involved with the evolving world around them, while giving them a voice-on a global market, as well! We aim to create college & career-ready student leaders!
