WHAT WE DO
VAPA GUHSD strives to support educators and schools in offering high quality arts education, taught by highly qualified arts educators, to every student
WHY
The arts are a necessary and required component for all California students to develop as well-rounded, lifelong learners who contribute to the prosperity and quality of life for local and global communities.
Education in the arts (dance, media arts, music, theatre, and visual arts) develops engaged, creative, expressive, responsive, and artistically literate citizens.
