A Visit to Our School:
If you want to see full integration of the arts, visit West Port High School.
You will find students all over campus with instruments, cameras, etc. Groups
of students can be found rehearsing throughout the campus- before school, after
school, during lunch, and between classes. You can see other curriculum teachers
using the arts to enhance and support their curriculum.
Our Special Arts Programs:
West Port High School’s philosophy embraces the belief that all students
are talented. Auditions are ‘placement auditions’ and all students
are welcome to attend. This allows students who have never studied the arts to
find the artist within and take a chance to learn something new. In previous
years our students have been awarded over half a million dollars in scholarships
to some of the most highly competitive art schools in the nation. Some of these
students never participated in the arts before coming to West Port High School.
We think that is pretty special!
