It's been amaizng , I have had the best moments there , I have learned so many things such as being. Musician , how to preform like one , how to make something so small and turn it into something bigger and better.

Arts High School has a very diverse student population, and major arts. There are several majors that students can audition for.
8/13/2024
Majoring in dance at Arts high played a huge factor in my life. The best experience while attending this school was being able to display my work publicly in the junior and senior annual dance concert. Also being able to communicate and interact with other inspiring dancers to help develop your skills. The worst part about the experience of attending a performing arts school is being mental drained due to perfecting a skill everyday until you perfect it . I would like to see students being able to enjoy their major and become more engaged in what their doing.
