Your art-loving middle school child will have the opportunity to compete at district, regional, and state levels as well as have their art on display at places such as the Tyler Museum of Art, Gallery Main Street, or even the State Capital!

Additionally, the financial cost to families with a child participating in performing arts can be minimal. Many instruments and supplies are provided by the campus at little or no cost.

As a district, we believe your child should have access to needed services and the opportunity to maximize their potential ability.

Teachers in the bilingual program are also bilingual and have been trained to make content more understandable as students develop English proficiency.
