PBS series "The Class" highlights Antioch students' struggles

A new PBS docu-series, "The Class," premieres this week, focusing on students at Antioch's Deer Valley High School during the COVID-19 lockdown. Originally intended to follow college advisor Cameron Schmidt-Temple, the series adapted to the challenges of remote learning. Filmmakers captured the experiences of six seniors as they navigated their final year of high school online. The series highlights the critical role of advisors and the struggles students faced during the transition to virtual education. "The Class" also explores broader issues affecting the school community, including demographic changes and student voices during the pandemic. The six-part series aims to provide insight into the students' experiences and the impact of the pandemic on their education.
