The following information was provided by North Hills School District Communications Coordinator Amanda Hartle

North Hills High School Class of 2013 graduate Kristen Grom has been named a Top 15 finalist in the nationwide Great American NO BULL Challenge.

She will be recognized for her achievement, and a contest winner will be named at the 2013 NO BULL Teen Video Awards on August 9 in Los Angeles.

Kristen’s video topped hundreds of other entries from teen filmmakers across the United States. Her video was required to be two to five minutes in length with a digital responsibility or bullying prevention theme.

Members of the North Hills community rallied to support Kristen’s film during a public voting period in May and helped it become a one of the top 50 videos in the competition. A panel of expert judges determined the 15 finalist videos from the top 50 favorite videos.

The video competition is the first student-led nationwide video contest and Teen Video Awards show dedicated to bullying prevention and promoting empathy, respect and inclusive communities using the power of music and filmmaking.
