Class overview
The AV classes focus on developing skills in the area of video production. Intro to AV and AV I cover areas such as history of broadcasting, digital citizenship, careers, project creation, camera operation, and video editing. The students will use Adobe Creative Cloud programs to create a variety of video projects throughout the year. This is a fun, creative class that will emphasize teamwork and provide the students with a skill that they can carry into the next phase of their lives.

ROUNDTABLE FALL 2026 EPISODE 8 OCT 21
My name is Paul Bristol, and I'm the new addition to the A/V team! I grew up in Maryville where I cultivated a love for sports which eventually turned into a love for broadcasting. I've worked in various fields of broadcasting like the Sports WNML/WIVK 107.7 FM, Morristown West High School football and basketball radio, and WATE.
These positions allowed me to learn and develop skills in various aspects of broadcasting like radio sports reporting, videography, photography, and editing. After some time in the field, I began working as an A/V teacher and track coach at Maryville High School. The best part of my job is working with students, showing them what broadcasting is about, and watching them excel with their new skills. I'm eager and excited to begin this new chapter with Eagleton!
