Educators
A strong film program grows students' communication and leadership skills — shaping them into thoughtful leaders regardless of whether they pursue filmmaking beyond high school. Our schools will also gain access to our collection of educator resources.
Student Testimonials
The Power of a Film Program
When asked to describe their time at HSCA in one word, our student Pioneer Members called their first semester “imaginative,” “fun,” and “awesome,” and many said their Chapter gave them a greater sense of “belonging.” They found the prospect of joining HSCA to be “enticing” and “promising”; they found the idea of the Society to be “hopeful” and “inspiring.”

for Every Student.
No school should be excluded from HSCA simply because of financial barriers. We are the only honor society to offer recurring financial assistance to Chapters and schools through our Chapter Grant Initiative.
Filmmakers aren't just camera operators. We are artists, writers, musicians, project managers, and logisticians. It is exactly this breadth of abilities being developed that makes filmmaking such a powerful educational tool. We at HSCA vehemently believe that every student should be able to pursue filmmaking no matter their situation.
