EAGLE RIVER - A Northwoods video drew the attention of state school leaders.

The promotional video for the Northland Pines School District won the 2012 "Best in Show" Lighthouse Award from the Wisconsin School Public Relations Association.

The video got a perfect 40 of 40 score by the judges' panel.

School leaders say it was made to showcase the students, facilities, and staff in the Vilas County district.

Pines graduates Mark and Lisa Rose, owners of a local media production company, donated their time and work to help make the piece.

It was filmed over four days in February.
