Tantasqua News Network

The Tantasqua News Network is a podcast dedicated to the Tantasqua community. We will keep students and parents informed on current events and activities at the school, as well as give students an opportunity to produce original content that will be available for the whole world to see. The News Educational Network also makes podcasts designed to help students study a topic they may be learning in school, and we even make videos to show students how to use specific school equipment. Along with educational content, we also produce old style radio plays, and interviews with the teachers and staff.
