Two students in last year’s Television Production classes at Penn-Trafford High School earned nominations for the 2023 National Student Production Awards from the Foundation of The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS). Nominees were selected from over 2,000 high school student entries across the country in 24 programming and craft categories. Entries were judged by selected industry professionals and media academics. The winners will be announced on February 1.
In the category of Multimedia Journalism, Penn-Trafford senior Morgan Arlia was nominated for her piece on Suicide Awareness. In the PSA category, Phelan Newman (a 2023 graduate) was nominated for “Tears of a Clown.”
