The Val Verde Unified School District has recently announce that Val Verde High School has been selected as a finalist for the 2015 Panasonic Kid Witness News New Vision Award. The video "Face to Face" produced by the Video Production class at Val Verde Continuation High School was one of four videos selected by Panasonic for the 2015 New Vision Awards. Teacher Robert Del Campo and three of his students will attend the “Winners Weekend” in New York where the winning school will be announced on May 8 at the Panasonic Headquarters. “Face to Face” is about a young teen girl (Briana) who falls headlong into a relationship with a teen named Jason. Emotionally attached to him, Briana encounters a mysterious entity that shows her the truth about Jason and the fate that lies before her if she continues the relationship.
