The Arts and Athletics Inc faculty comprises an immensely talented array of instructors, including visual artists, writers, athletes, dancers, and musicians. In our ongoing quest to connect the students in our community with the most talented and accomplished adults, we have also strived to play a role in supporting and promoting the arts.
In an effort to expand that role and to celebrate the amazing individuals teaching our children, we have launched this “Faculty Performances” page. Here we will publicize a curated list of faculty events featuring afterschool personnel so that parents, fellow teachers, and others in our school communities might attend.
