We are offering three tracks of study for MCA students; Web Design, TV/Video Production, and Digital Audio Production. It is not the goal of MCA to create Web Designers, TV Producers, or Recording Artists. MCA merely wants to expose students to the technologies in the multimedia and communications industry in hopes students will pursue a study in one of the three tracks offered at a post secondary institute. The environment of these courses are very much like a college like atmosphere and our hopes are that with students realizing their ability to be successful in this type of setting that they will in turn choose to further their education past high school at a trade, two year, or four year school. Below you will find information on a typical track for a MCA high school student here at Lakeland High School.
