Brown, Cain, Higgins and Stanton-Smith gifted and talented students hosted their first ever Film Festival which was a culmination of their “Lights, Camera, Action!” study. Students produced their own movies which involved, script writing, acting, filming, directing, designing scenes and props, editing video and audio clips, promoting their movie and creating sound effects. Families were invited to a movie premiere night at each elementary campus where the G/T students served refreshments (Coke and popcorn of course!), signed autographs and encouraged fans to take pictures with the “stars” from the films at the photo booth. All four Film Festivals were huge hits! Watch out Hollywood – Whitehouse has some talent!

Along with other chapters in schools across the nations, the Gus W. Cain Chapter strives to give practical meaning to the Society’s standards of scholarship, responsibility, service, and leadership.

The standards used for selection were the following: Scholarship- 93% or better cumulative average for two semesters and Responsibility, Service and Leadership- as demonstrated by activities at home, at school, and in the community.
