Mount Pleasant High School is the home of
Delaware's first high school radio station.

WMPH 91.7 FM gives great experience for students interested in being a DJ, radio host, television personality, public speaker, news journalist, sports announcer, or music promoter.

WMPH is a unique broadcast learning center. The experience is intended to enhance the students' knowledge of communications, develop the thought process and organizational skills, increase community awareness, and BE FUN. Our purpose in the community of Wilmington is to entertain and inform our listeners by presenting a positive and professional image. Call Mr. Dantinne for more information at 762-7199.

Clint Dantinne remodeled the existing studios in March 1993. Two years later, the entire Mount Pleasant High School moved to an alternate location while major renovations and building construction took place. The WMPH studios were relocated to a trailer during the 1995-1996 school year. In September 1996, WMPH moved to a brand new facility.

During the summer of 2003, Mount Pleasant High School and WMPH again were renovated. This time, it was the exterior of the building including all new windows.

WMPH technology is first rate. We have a sophisticated computer automation network with voice track options. All songs and announcements are cataloged in our database which calculates the spins and ranking order. An RSS feed delivers the song playing on the air to our web site immediately. We also have an original show called Total Control Radio. This is a completely computer driven show which plays whatever songs get the most online votes in real time.

WMPH 2 is a streaming internet radio station from Mount Pleasant High School. As a training facility, WMPH 2 is on the air 24 hours everyday with a wide variety of music and programming. Listen online or anywhere on campus at 88.1 FM.

The school announcements broadcast via closed-circuit television (Ch. 37) to the entire student body. WMPH-TV is a continuously operated station airing school news and student videos. Our second closed-circuit television station (Ch. 32) features both LIVE audio and video from the WMPH-FM radio studios.

The Film Club objectives are to provide students the opportunity to explore the language of film, recognize the importance of conveying messages through film elements, and give students valuable experience in analyzing and producing media.

Our recording studios offer services to all schools of the Brandywine School District. We have digitally recorded music concerts and school performances on location then mastered to compact disc. We also provide audio editing service for pep squad mixes, student voice demos, and our Puppets in Education program.

The Puppets in Education objectives are to write scripts with a socially conscious theme targeted to elementary school students, record dialogue then master the soundtrack with sound effects and background music, practice puppeteering in group sessions and review performance on video monitor, and perform on location at participating elementary schools and community groups.
