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.
