Teaching students the craft of broadcasting and the art of storytelling is a passion for Bruce McRoberts. With a bachelor's degree in Radio-Television from Kansas State, he worked 18 years as a director and producer of local origination programming at a local cable company. Coming to Blue Valley in 1997, he became the first broadcasting teacher in the Blue Valley district high schools and helped develop the broadcast facility and developed curriculum. Bruce earned a master's degree from Pittsburg State in 2003. He is a member of the JEMKC, NSPA, JEA, and the Executive Council of the Student Television Network. Under his guidance, the Student News Team has earned many local and national awards with their video productions. Bruce feels that the skills taught in his iMedia course will prepare students for the challenges of the new world of journalism and video.
