Drama Department's hilarious performance of "Slumber Party Mystery"

Mrs. Pemberton and students in the Drama Department put on their play "Slumber Party Mystery" for the Evening of the Arts on May 14th. This "was an original play written and performed by the ANTHS Drama Department. A special thank you to seniors Kieran Bartel & Hollyann Taylor, for their dedication to new Tech Fine Arts. As Drama 3/4 students, they volunteered to edit the script."

This was a tale of teenage angst, older sibling mischief and hijinks.

The cast included: Jazzlyn, Kieran, Jimena, Cora, Harlie, Blue, Flynn, Hollyann, Faith, Sophie, Charlotte, Ariek, Clarity and Oak.

Stage, Sound, Camera & Light Stage Crew: Samantha, Eva, Sara & Andrew

Choir Hits a High Note

Under the direction of Mr. Aguirre, the choir students showcased their talents at the Evening of the Arts in a group performance, with several individuals also taking the spotlight in solo acts.

Choir students include: Asia, Makayla, Teagan, Amber, Mayci & Sophia

The Fine Arts

Under the mentorship of Mrs. Boydstun, students have diligently engaged in artistic creation throughout the year, producing works that genuinely reflect their individual styles. This was particularly evident during the Evening of the Arts held on May 14th. Parents, faculty, students, and community members were welcomed to explore these artworks displayed across the school and cast their votes for their preferred pieces in each of the four art levels.

Students enjoyed the distinctive opportunity to showcase their creations to the public, with the potential for their works to be acquired, subject to the consent of both the artist and the instructor.
