Berkmar High School junior Mateo Zambrano bolted a shiny new spotlight to a stand in the studio section of Ebone Liggines’ classroom. He and his classmate, senior Jaylin Harrell, were preparing to help one of their classmates record footage for their tutorial project.

Students in Berkmar’s Level 4 video production class are independent, allowing Liggines to mentor lower-level students. As Level 4 video production students, Harrell and Zambrano are part of a group that helps lower-level students get their projects off the ground.
