WELCOME PARENTS AND STUDENTS
Music and the arts have been an integral part of my life since I was six years old
and I can’t even begin to imagine my life without them. God’s gift of the performing
arts; Music, Dance, and Acting, are all part of human expression and we as Christians
are able to share these gifts through redemptive storytelling because of God’s greatest
gift his Son. I consider it a great honor and privilege to be able to share with
students these blessings, and invest in them what God and others throughout my life,
have passed down and invested in me. I know that our amazing faculty feel the same
as I do, and it is an absolute joy to watch as students develop and transform into
the unique individuals that God created them to be. I look forward to the possibility
of collaborating with you and your children on a journey that will change and enrich
their lives forever.
