Dysart Student Broadcasting Live held its annual awards night April 29 to culminate a successful year of student-produced livestreams and video content.

The event celebrated more than 200 live-streamed events by the students at all four high schools and recognized the hard work students put in over the 2024-2025 school year.

Dysart district leadership, board members and high school administrators were on hand to congratulate the students who were awarded in three main categories: DSB Live Excellence Award, DSB Live Aspiring Award and DSB Live Academic Letter.

DSB Live is a student broadcasting program comprised of Dysart Unified School District high school students.

Students live stream various academic, arts and athletic events, developed and run at the four district high schools — Dysart High, Shadow Ridge, Valley Vista and Willow Canyon — and DUSD programs and activities.

DSB Live Excellence Award

This award is given to well-rounded film and TV students who go above and beyond the call of duty. They are the student that is willing to jump in at any cost, acts as a mentor to other students and understands how to use most if not all of the equipment both in the studio and on location. They are students who have a passion for film and TV and aspires to do that work post high school.

The winners were as follows:

• Dysart High: Ian Morton and Mikaela Acosta.
• Shadow Ridge: Alexander Galindo and James Visvardis.
• Valley Vista: Ignacio Chavez and Ethan Baker.
• Willow Canyon: Diego Fernandez del Valle and Isabella Thibault.
