Woodstock Student Earns National Video Production Scholarship

A Woodstock High School senior has earned a $5,000 national scholarship and ambassador role for his video production skills, the Cherokee County School District announced.

Kai Schultz recently earned the $5,000 Game Day Excellence Scholarship from Formetco Sports, which produces technology including the video LED scoreboards used for school football games and other events.

The award was presented at the company’s summer learning program for students who run video scoreboards or participate in other school video, AV and/or social media initiatives.

As part of the honor, Schultz will serve as the Formetco Connect Student Engagement Ambassador for the next school year to share his feedback with the company and his expertise with other high school students.

He is a student in Woodstock’s Career Pathway program for AV, Technology and Film led by teacher Jeff Wagner. Schultz also participates in Woodstock’s Sports Broadcasting Club and is a member of the school’s news program, WTV7.

It is the second consecutive year for a CCSD Audio/Video Technology and Film student to earn a $5,000 scholarship from the company.

The Career Pathway program for Audio/Video Technology and Film is offered at all CCSD high schools. For more information about the program, visit tinyurl.com/4yyxu836 .
