The District Communications office works closely with teachers and classrooms to not only provide support and empower student media, but also to serve as a bridge between education and the industries of media production.

The Springdale Schools media production programs are the most celebrated and decorated programs of their kind in the Midwest. Since 1994 our media programs have been leaders in the state, earning an average of a 100 awards a year! TV and Video Production programs are offered at Springdale High School, Har-Ber High School, The Don Tyson School of Innovation, Central Junior High, Lakeside Junior High, and George Junior High. However, storytelling and broadcasting begins as early as Elementary School with weekly news shows and announcement programs. All student-created content of Springdale Schools has support and oversight from the district Communications Department.

Through business partnerships, student internships, and student-centered events such as The Ozark Media Arts Festival, students can meet with local industry leaders to build relationships and demonstrate their abilities.
