A North Texas educational organization dedicated to inspiring young people through an arts-based, academic world-view.
Throughout our 75 years, we have had thousands of amazing students and families share their creativity with the world. Please consider sharing a story or two about how you were changed by our teachers, schools, programs, and choirs.
The Choir performs for President and Mrs. John F. Kennedy. A joyous event, which quickly turned to sadness as later that day the President is assassinated.
“I was an active participant in dance, theater and choir. In each of those, I was taught to think creatively, to communicate effectively, and to develop intercultural empathy as I worked in diverse teams. While attending a school that was so supportive, I developed a confidence I really didn’t have before and each of those skills I learned have been instrumental to my success in the US and around the globe. If I’ve discovered anything from my career it’s art has the power to reduce conflict and bring people together.”
