Hello! My name is Thomas Roper. I am a senior at Tupelo High School. I joined WTHS my freshman year. This is when I was first introduced to the world of broadcast journalism. I spent my first semester learning exactly what it means to create a news broadcast, even with tough obstacles to overcome. Throughout time, I learned so much about writing scripts, shooting video, editing packages, anchoring shows, and so much more. I fell in love with all the many aspects of the program and cannot wait to see what it has for me in the future. Last year, I had the opportunity to be the Executive Producer of WTHS Media. Currently, I share the Co-Executive Producer responsibilities with another staff member. The last two years have given me meaningful leadership and authentic duties that I can take into my next chapter in life.
