Drama students perform in Festival in the Park Mrs. Pruden gives ad¬ vice concerning cos¬ tumes for the depart¬ ment’s productions. In drama, students become acquainted with all aspects of the theater. Each student takes part in both the technical and creative production of plays. The drama department took part in the Festival in the Park. Under the direction of Mrs. Pruden, the department presented a selection of one act plays, including Rise and Shine, Hello, Out There, and Lost Elevator. Our art department consists of a varied program to incorporate an appreciation for art along with the creative abilities.

Our art students exhibited and participated in the Festival in the Park as well as the Shoney’s Window Contest, and the National Scholastics in Art.
