The Eagle Eye was heavily involved in the project, shooting video and doing interviews for four different segments of the program.
The program features on camera interviews with Eagle Eye editors Nathan Hormell and Paige Umholtz and footage shot by Eagle Eye staffers throughout the school district.
The Eagle Eye produced stories on Tyrone football Fridays, student life and activities at the High School, the Eagle Eye and Channel T, and other aspects of the Tyrone Area School District.
The project began in mid-September with a kickoff meeting at the Tyrone-Snyder Public Library. At this meeting, members of the community were introduced to the project and asked to sign up for story topics.
