The 500-seat Performing Arts Center is more than meets the eye. It will be, first and foremost, a state-of-the-art high school theater, concert hall, and art gallery.

The chapel will be located in the heart of the school directly adjacent to the new Performing Arts Center.

The Student Life Center will provide students with a comfortable space to socialize and “study” before and after school and will also accommodate student organization meetings.

Acoustically superior and soundproof to the surrounding classrooms, the new space is almost 50% larger than the current room, providing for the needs of a growing music program.

The three new classrooms we gain as a by-product of the new spaces being constructed allow us to keep pace with growing enrollment.
