Previous Enrollment in a Performing Arts Course with a grade of A or A-, teacher recommendation, and a student application. The application process will happen in May and all successful applicants will be enrolled in the leadership course before the end of the school year.
Performing Arts Student Leadership embraces the philosophy of Servant Leadership. In this course students will learn about leadership in a theoretical sense while also learning concepts and skills related to planning, leadership development, and communication. These will be directly applied to leadership experience in a particular performing arts course. Student leaders will be concurrently enrolled in another performing arts course and will serve as student leaders for that course. Students in the leadership course will lead sectional rehearsals, plan for programs and activities, and lead a service project. Students will also be expected to attend the leadership retreat which occurs on a Saturday in early September.
