South Fayette High School
Video Team Wins 1st Place
for FBI H.O.P.E. Contest
Congratulations to South Fayette High School students Andy Detar, Josh
Milteer, Brendan Purdy, and Matt Sgro for winning 1st Place in the Judge’s
Choice Category in the FBI H.O.P.E. Initiative Video Contest to combat the
heroin epidemic. The students were tasked to create a 3-minute video raising
awareness for opioid abuse and the stigmas and myths that come along with
it. The video was named the top submission in Western Pennsylvania by a
panel of FBI agents, police officers, drug treatment center employees, and
former addicts. As part of the winnings, South Fayette High School received a
$5,000 grant and the video team was treated to a Pittsburgh Penguins game
and visited the FBI Pittsburgh Field Office as guests for “FBI Agent for a Day”
event. High School Media teacher Matt Caprio and School Resource Officer
Jeff Sgro sponsored the project at the High School. This was the 2nd year in a
row that South Fayette High School students took 1st Place in this contest.
