Glendale students win C-SPAN prize 

WASHINGTON — Alexander Schmelzling, Brody Weiss and Caitlin Reindl, students at Nicolet High School in Glendale, are 2025 third-prize prize winners in C-SPAN’s 21st annual StudentCam competition and will receive $750 for a documentary video about gun violence in Milwaukee. The video is called “Shots Fired.” 

C-SPAN also recognizes Katherine Romenesko, an educator at the school, who served as an adviser in the StudentCam competition. C-SPAN, in cooperation with its cable and satellite television partners, asked middle and high school students to address the theme — Your Message to the President: What issue is most important to you or your community?” 

Now in its 21st year, this project-based learning experience asked students to explore and analyze matters of personal, local or national importance. In response, C-SPAN received over 1,700 entries and nearly 3,500 students participated from 42 states and Washington, D.C.
