The event highlighted the school’s dedication to providing exceptional opportunities for students in the Multimedia TV and Film program. The new facility, equipped with high-definition cameras, professional lighting setups, and industry-standard editing software, offers students the tools to create and develop their own film projects, preparing them for careers in the ever-evolving film and television industries.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was attended by 35 special guests, including representatives from partnering school districts, Hofstra University, Five Towns College, and News 12, all of whom gathered to celebrate this exciting new chapter for LIHSA.
