Check out our featured video to see a great performance of Credo the combined Westlake Band, Choir, and Orchestra.

This year, TEC had an impressive showing at the Texas Broadcast Journalism UIL awards. You can see the videos TEC entered, the awards they won, and the students involved on our new UIL Awards page.

Originally formed over a decade ago as the extracurricular arm of a small technical theatre program, TEC has grown to include over one-hundred members of the Westlake High School student body. It now has a direct impact on nearly every student in the district through its behind-the-scenes support of actors, athletes, and musicians alike.

TEC Alum and founding President Phil Gilbert returned to Westlake for three weeks this spring to help with this year’s Zenith. In addition to teaching advanced automated lighting programming to TEC students, Phil discussed his career as a professional lighting designer in the live entertainment industry. Since graduating from Westlake twelve years ago, he has worked on Broadway productions such as Bye Bye Birdie and Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark.
