Q. Where do your story ideas come from?
A. The simple answer is many different places. We look at the things that affect our students and our school district.
Q. Where are you located?
A. DTV is located inside Davison High School. We are on the first floor of the building adjacent to the Media Center.
Q. Can I purchase a copy of a DTV program?
A. DTV does offer DVDs for sale of selected programs. All programs cost $15 and can be purchased through the Davison Community Schools Website.
Q. I’m a Davison High School student, how can I get into DTV?
A. DTV is always looking for bright new students, but there is a selection process to become a part of the DTV team. DTV is a class that is reserved for 9th through 12th graders at Davison High School. Students interested must apply. You can find the application on this page or in the Guidance Office. Once you fill out the application, you will be required to interview with Mr. Scott. Unfortunately, not all applications can be honored because of class space limitations. If you are unable to get in one year, continue to apply. We like that tenacity – it shows you’re interested and want to get involved.
If you would like to join our team fill out an application (below) and give it to your guidance counselor. You can also stop by the DTV classroom (286) for more information.
