About

At our school, we empower students to explore their passions while building real-world skills for college and career success. Through our five Student Pathways: Healthcare, The Arts, Communication, Digital Technology, and Welding -students dive deep into their interests, whether that means earning a Certified Medical Assistant license, honing their craft in visual and performing arts, mastering journalism and podcasting, developing skills in computer programming for game design, or gaining hands-on welding expertise. But education here goes beyond the classroom. We partner with The Center for Family Life, a community organization that enriches our school through Advisory, where students receive mentorship, academic support, and social-emotional guidance. This partnership also strengthens our robust after-school program, offering everything from tutoring to arts workshops, sports, and career exploration, ensuring every student has the tools and opportunities to thrive.

Arts Summary
Students take a three-year, six-credit sequence in the arts that includes visual arts, dance, instrumental music and multi-media art. Students switch teachers at the end of the each semester to have a greater appreciation for the multidisciplinary array of the arts that our teachers offer. Ninth graders spend one semester taking 2-D art, which includes drawing, painting, and print-making, and one semester of 3-D design which includes clay and mixed materials. Tenth graders take one semester of dance and one semester of music. Eleventh graders take one semester of digital arts which includes animation and photo-editing and one semester of craft arts where they create usable objects out of textiles and learn how to sew. We offer a variety of elective arts classes that students take three times a week, including advanced music, advanced painting, ceramics (complete with a kiln and wheels), graphic design, comic book arts, ballet, and more. Students in the afterschool programs can audition for visual arts, dance, choral and theater troupes. Students can also join one of the many arts clubs we offer such as Makers Club (woodworking, 3D printing), filmmaking with local professionals, and photography club led by our librarian. We also offer many STEAM-related activities that involve arts in an interdisciplinary context. Our community partner Center for Family Life offers immersive workshops in art, music, dance, and theater, which culminate in a student-led theater production at the end of May.
