About the Project

Middle school is a pivotal time in student development where educators can leverage the open-minded nature of adolescents to build their confidence, expand their skill sets and knowledge for the future, and nurture relationships that will last a lifetime. Our Student Empowerment Through Performance Program affords all students on campus the opportunity to participate in our classes, as well as our campus-wide activities that focus on student creativity, community collaboration, and leadership development. We have found that students who participate in our Musical Theatre and Choir Classes, as well as our After School Performance Enrichment Programs have improved academically, are more connected to campus, and have a more positive goal-orientated outlook for future success.
