    The mission of the High School of Creative and Performing Arts is to nurture the creative talents and aspirations of our students within an academic/arts college preparatory program. In a multicultural environment, we provide a comprehensive and sequenced program of study in the six arts disciplines - creative writing, dance, drama, instrumental music, vocal music, and visual arts, as well as rigorous pre-college academic instruction across the curriculum. Our graduates will demonstrate a mastery of defined skills that will enable them to be productive, self-directed, lifelong learners, who appreciate and respect diversity.
