Student discovers love of film from app design
Hope Stokes started her senior year of high school ready to leave and “be done with school.”
She expected paperwork and classes to sit through and one worksheet after the other.

Few people are fortunate enough to make a living doing something they truly love. At least one instructor at Amarillo College feels lucky to be one of the few.
When he was working on his degree in business administration at Texas Tech University, Cox chose history as an elective.
The 21st Century After-School Program has been helping Amarillo College club members mentor students at San Jacinto and Whittier elementary schools since fall 2011. The grant program was started to support the “No Excuses” philosophy.
Hilary Cordero, program coordinator, schedules the activities between clubs and schools. The goal of the program is to help motivate children to seek post-secondary education.
Everybody is looking for love. Regardless if we realize it or not, love is what we all ultimately yearn for. Human beings spend copious amounts of time in the pursuit of love. We do everything we can – online dating, going out to clubs and bars – to find that perfect catch. So much time, effort and money is spent searching for the “right one.”
Plastic bags and Styrofoam cups adorn the fence line. Newspapers billow along the roadside. Cigarette butts are scattered across the ground like stars across the night sky. It’s a beautiful scene.
Well, OK, maybe it isn’t. In fact, it’s downright ugly.
I detest litter, especially because there is absolutely no reason for it. Tossing a soda can out of the car window is no big deal; it’s just one can – except it isn’t. There are more than 20 million drivers in the state of Texas. Just imagine if everyone tossed “just one” thing out the window every day.
Amarillo College offers many options for degree programs: almost everything to choose from. But Scott Beckett, a music instructor, is pioneering a new degree that would bring recording arts to the foreground as the premier program at AC.
“We are in the process of creating a degree program,” Beckett said. “In order for us to officially launch this program, we have to have five years of tracking. In another two years, it will be a full program.”
When asked, many students said they’d be hard-pressed to find an instructor as passionate as Rene West.
An Amarillo College photography instructor since 2008, West has shared that enthusiasm with the many students who have passed through her classes.
In preparation for the Amarillo College Combat Fitness Challenge, the AC Fit Club conducted a competition in front of the clock tower April 8. The competition consisted of pull-ups, dips, and ab exercises. The male and female who had the most pull-ups, dips and hanging leg raises at the end of the day won free admission to the Combat Fitness Challenge.
When Amarillo got its a public television station in 1988, it was known as KACV-TV.
The station underwent a rebranding recently, dropping the old title and emerging under the name Panhandle PBS.
