Ranked in 2015 as one of the nation’s top high schools by U.S. News and World Report, this LEED Silver, 234,900-square-foot facility features dance and visual arts studios, light-filled lounges, and two versatile theatres to help fulfill the magnet school’s creative curriculum.

A 1,000-seat multipurpose theatre features student-friendly rigging, adjustable acoustic devices, and modern AV and lighting equipment. With a stepped-down balcony and side boxes, the room provides an intimate setting for dance, music, and drama, as well as for school events and assemblies. The 100-seat studio theatre offers flexible seating and staging configurations and features a pipe grid and modern lighting equipment. The theatre is the perfect setting for acting classes and alternative performances.
