Yesterday, OLSH students attended the Digital Media Arts Consortium (DMAC) conference hosted by Robert Morris University (RMU).
Originally founded in 1991 as the Television & Video Teachers Consortium (TVT), the organization has expanded significantly over the years to include all areas of media education, including media arts, television production, video and filmmaking, journalism, photography, graphic design, visual communications, and more. DMAC serves as a collaborative space for secondary media educators to network, share ideas, and exchange resources, while highlighting excellence in student work across the region.
OLSH was one of eighteen schools to submit work—and the only Catholic school in attendance.
Students earned multiple honors at the competition:
Julia Davoli ’26 received Best in Category in Sports Photojournalism for “No Room For Error.”
Zoe Vesci ’26 earned an Award of Excellence in News/Feature Photojournalism for “Shared Curiosity.”
Katelyn Miller ’26 earned an Award of Excellence in Documentary for “The Comeback Season.”
Wesley Goshen ‘26 was also presented with the DMAC Founders’ Award, a prestigious honor recognizing seniors who demonstrate outstanding dedication, leadership, and commitment to their school’s media program. Wesley serves as the Executive Director of WCHR, the OLSH in-house daily news broadcast.
We are so proud of all of our students for representing OLSH with talent, professionalism, and creativity. Their work continues to raise the bar, and we look forward to seeing all they accomplish next.
