Performing Arts

Our performing arts program develops the skills utilized in the art of storytelling through music, theater, and dance.

Students work together to perform classical dramatic material and music as well as the choreography, music, and literature of modern artists. Each student has the opportunity to create personal artistic statements through original works, choreography, and solo performances influenced by her culture, values and religious traditions.

Middle school students highlight their performances at the annual Spring Showcase Night and Family Heritage Day, and high school students prepare evening performances for their culminating class projects. 

Additional performance opportunities include major theatrical productions from our middle school theatre ensemble, The Drama Queens, and our renowned high school company, The Genesians, as well as liturgies, talent shows, and other special events.

List of 6 items.
