WCAP celebrated 15 years of
Broughton broadcasting in the
06-07 school year.
WCAP was conceived in 1991 by
sophomore students Brian
Martin, Roderick Smith, and
Bryan Johnson. Under the
leadership of principal Diane
Payne, Broughton equipped its
video studio and began student-
produced broadcasts in 1992.
February, 1993 WCAP went to a
daily live program format, which
continues today. Avisors for
WCAP have included Ann
Bridgers, Melvin Williams,
Brandon Mangum, Julian Bridgers, and currently Brian Martin.
Along the line numerous groups have helped WCAP become the success it has,
including the BHS PTSA, The Class of 1999, and the BHS Band. SAS Institute
donated our amazing current newsdesk. The Capital Foundation allowed WCAP to
equip the studio with teleprompters in 2006.
WCAP produces numerous projects for the school and community. Videotaping
assemblies, editing student government speeches, and a line of public service
announcements called "Speak Ups," are just some the projects students work on.
