Chelsea Peebles and Lindsey Hale

For three years, Chelsea Peebles and Lindsey Hale were one of HTV's top teams. They began their HTV success by winning "Best Broadcast I Story" their sophomore year, and made a habit of going the extra to file compelling pieces. Their junior year, they traveled to St. Louis to visit a private treatment center where teens with eating disorders could find help and support. On the 2009 HTV Bus Tour they brought viewers the story of a family forced to live in a small hotel in New Jersey due to structural problems with their home, which were taking months to repair. They also found one of the tour's most memorable locations, "Mert's" in Charlotte, NC, where soul food was served "with a little love." During their senior year, an in-depth story about Springfield's "Lost and Found" center, where grieving teens find support, was a three-time winner at the annual Hillcrest Media Banquet for the duo. The segment, which also included contributions by photographer Kelsi Moos, was a comprehensive segment praised by the staff of "Lost and Found" itself for it's powerful impact. To cap off their senior year, Hale and Peebles anchored the show that won HTV its 11th Pacemaker Award, a national record, from the National Scholastic Press Association. Hale also served as HTV's Line Producer, and Peebles was the first Editor of the new HHS website, hillcresthornets.org, in 2009-2010.


Lori Reed

She appeared on the very first "HTV Magazine," and 22 years later, Lori Reed continues to be a dedicated supporter for the program. As the head of the HTV Alumni Association, she has continued to give back by working tirelessly to raise funds for the annual alumni scholarship, and by promoting the activities of current students via the HTV alumni Facebook page. Her work has also helped raise support for students needing assistance for various HTV trips. But we should not forget her contributions as one of the show's most visible reporters during the inaugural season of "HTV Magazine." She and classmates Julie Moyer and Dan Arnall produced the year's most memorable segment, about the incredible recovery of Coach Louis Fees after a drunk driver crashed into his car one morning in August of 1986. The story was recently named one of HTV's top 20 segments from the show's first 20 years, and appears on a commemorative DVD. Reed covered the recovery of then Hillcrest teacher Kent Medlin's daughter Lacy, who survived a brain tumor when she was two years old. Reed co-anchored HTV #3, considered the pivotal show that first year, when adviser Dave Davis says, "We finally got it. That show showed us how we could have an impact if we worked a little harder." Lori Reed has been an integral part of "HTV Magazine" since it began, and now she has a permanent place in the HTV Hall of Fame.
