Congratulations to 10th grade students Juliet Frick, Jonah Sandel, & Mira Stettner from Palo Alto Senior High School in California who won 3rd Prize in the High School Western division for their documentary, “Teenage Drug Abuse.”
StudentCam is C-SPAN’s annual national video documentary competition that encourages students to think critically about issues that affect our communities and our nation. 2025 marked the 21st year of the competition and in this presidential inaugural year, we asked students to explore and analyze matters of personal, local or national importance by addressing the theme — “Your Message to the President: What issue is most important to you or your community?”
C-SPAN is funded by America’s cable and satellite television companies, who also support StudentCam. In Palo Alto, C-SPAN is available locally through Comcast.
