Nocona High School film students meet Saturday
Nocona High School Digital Media is back at it again with another project for the University Interscholastic League Filmmaking competition. The NHS Filmmaking team’s debut will start July 21st with a narrative that will be filmed in various locations around Nocona.

The first meeting will be at 8 a.m. at the Nocona High School AV lab on July 21st and will last through July 28th.
