The misson of the Vocal and Performing Arts Department is to foster an appreciation of music/performing arts, and to equip students with the skills necessary to express themselves through composition and performance. The process of music-making is one that allows for people to express their own personality, identity, and creativity to the world. Through this process, students will be able to thrive as musicians, and give back to their family, friends, and community.
