Fine & Performing Arts Magnet Program

Program Description

• Since 1984, the Fine and Performing Arts Magnet Program has provided conservatory type training to young artists who want to combine a college preparatory schedule with advanced arts training in a traditional high school setting. 

• FPAC is comprised of three separate programs:  Acting; Dance; and Music, Video, & Production.  Each is a distinct program with unique courses.

• Graduates have gone on to traditional liberal arts colleges and prestigious institutions for the performing arts such as NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, Juilliard, University of Southern California, University of the Arts, Mason-Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers, Berklee College, University of Miami, and many more.

• Alumnae have starred in or work behind-the-scenes on feature films, national television shows (The Daily Show, Designated Survivor, The Rachael Ray Show), and national and world tours of musicals (Miss Saigon). They have won Peabody and Emmy awards for video editing, received Emmy awards for acting, published books, produced independent films, and edited and written for national magazines and newspapers. 

• Furthermore, Fine and Performing Arts alumnae have also become successful in fields beyond the arts including medicine, physical and speech therapy, education, entertainment law and management, and architecture.
