“Performing arts are so incredibly important for students. While most required courses confine students to their desks in a non-collaborative work environment, classes like drama, choir, band and video production allow for students to break free and exercise their right brain. Creative courses prepare students to persevere, creatively problem-solve and grow confidence; all of which are beneficial for life outside of high school, no matter what one chooses to pursue. Also, they’re super fun and rewarding.” -senior Skye Hodgkin
