TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) - Most new education reforms die within four years, according to research studies on the topic.

Pueblo High’s radio class is celebrating 31 years.

Morning announcements at Pueblo sound different than most schools. Students broadcast live on their FCC-licensed radio station, part of a program that has become intergenerational since retired teacher Doug Potter started the class in 1994.

“And the beauty part is, and every teacher knows this and every student realizes this, writing to do something is a ticket to success,” Potter said.

The program teaches students skills beyond broadcasting, Potter said.

“Computers, digital skills, digital audio, digital recording, speech, reading, writing, it’s everything,” he said.
