About WCAT Media
WCAT Media consists of students in the Multimedia Pathway at Wheeling High School. Students first take Intro to Multimedia Communications, then go on to Production, Storytelling, and then to Practicum. Students take part in a variety of communication activities, including video production, podcasting, yearbook production, and journalism. These students work under the WCAT Media umbrella.
