Establishing a Special Program for Journalism at Spottswood National High School a Feasibility Study

Spottswood National School has been the center of excellence in Kidapawan City Division since the time it was established 23 years ago. Over the years, it has consistently performed excellently in various fields of learning. Just recently, the school was able to produce winners in the 2024 Regional Schools Press Conference (RSPC) in Tacurong City and qualified for the 2024 National Schools Press Conference in Cebu City. Combined with the previous victories of the campus journalists and school paper advisers and with its competent human resource, the school has the potential to teach and train the children in the field of journalism. In this connection, the school is now eyeing to put up a Special Program for Journalism to provide the learners the appropriate platform to showcase and harness their journalistic prowess. The implementation of the said program will also allow the teachers to institutionalize the teaching of journalism. Based on the recent environmental scanning of the school administrators and the teachers of Spottswood National High School, the school is more than equipped to take on the challenge of piloting the very first batch of Special Program in Journalism in Kidapawan City District-III. It has the ample physical facilities such as Computer Laboratory which can accommodate 50 learners at a time.
