Nixa Live Giving Students Professional Experience in High School 🎥
If you want to watch Nixa athletic events, you usually have a choice between staying home or going to one of our local restaurants and watching it through the eyes of our Nixa students and their work on Nixa Live. What started out with one person running a camera and zero announcers has now grown into an amazing multi-camera production with equipment and technology that is comparable to a professional broadcast. The high schoolers are gaining experience they could only hope to get years down the road. Thank you Air Services for supporting Nixa Live!
The High School Artist of the Week is Eris Eyberg
🎭 Artist of the Week is sponsored by Rocco's Pizza of Nixa. 🎉
"Eris Eyberg is a standout student whose exceptional work ethic and dedication to theatre are truly inspiring. Her humility and drive shine through in every performance and project, making her a remarkable role model for her peers. As a senior, Eris consistently goes above and beyond, demonstrating a passion and commitment that elevate the entire theatre program." - Dr. Allison Fleetwood, Nixa High School Theatre department head 🎶
"Theatre has helped me with all aspects of life. I have gained so much confidence and learned how to step outside of my comfort zone and try new things. The department has the most welcoming supporting atmosphere I have ever felt, we are truely family to each other. I have met some of my lifelong friends through shows and I love inspiring the underclassmen to reach their highest goals. The feeling of being onstage is unmatched, I guarantee that is something in my life I will never lose." - Eris Eyberg 🦅
