Winnisquam Regional High School receives TangerKids Grant for radio studio upgrades

TILTON — The Winnisquam Regional High School radio studio is set for a major technological overhaul, thanks to funding from the TangerKids Grant program.

Music teacher Josh Carter, who submitted the grant application last fall, was recently notified his proposal was selected to receive the award. In his application, Carter highlighted how the funding will bridge the gap between classroom learning and professional industry standards.

The grant will provide state-of-the-art technology including a high-performance computer capable of running professional-grade music production software. Students will gain experience in editing sound files, operating mixing boards, producing podcasts, and recording live performances. The studio environment will also foster positive peer interaction and professional communication.

The TangerKids Grant program is a national initiative by Tanger Outlets designed to support special projects and equipment needs in local schools.

"In alignment with Tanger Outlets’ mission to be good corporate citizens, the TangerKids Grants program supports and serves the future generation by providing almost $200,000 of total funding for schools nationwide. Tanger Outlets takes great pride in supporting the education of our future leaders," said Eric Proulx, general manager and marketing director at Tanger Tilton.

WRHS offers a dedicated radio and broadcasting class. The studio serves as a creative hub throughout the school year, providing students with technical training while building community engagement through high-quality music production.
