My Project
Although the Twilight Zone's first episode aired all the way back in the fall of 1959, the lessons from the quintessential TV series The Twilight Zone are just as poignant and important today.
Serving a high population of at-risk students, our high school is a public charter school with an emphasis in filmmaking.
The school's mission is to help students grow as storytellers, and to build teamwork and creative problem solving as they work together to get their voice out there into the world.
The students of this incredibly special school work hard everyday to grow as storytellers. Studying some of the best stories to ever grace the television screen from the series The Twilight Zone, and studying the life of the man who created it, Rod Serling, one of the best storytellers of the 20th century, will help them grow as people and filmmakers.
