I went to the School for the Creative and Performing Arts...we just called it SCAPA. SCAPA (4-8) had their own school & SCAPA (9-12) was housed a local high school. At the high school we had a Zero Hour for our major & then one other class during the day regarding our major (or your secondary major if you had one.) The rest of our classes were mixed in with with other students from the high school.
Regardless of SCAPA being housed there my high school was all about the Arts. Our band was #1 in the state for 11 years in a row with 400+ people, our orchestra was 150+ strong & always traveled & got wonderful state ratings & won many competitions, there were 6 different choirs you could be in-the largest being an audition choir with 200+ people each year (also traveling & receiving wonderful state ratings & winning many competitions.) We had award-winning dance & art studios, & numerous drama & creative writing classes. At my high school, if you didn't do something with the Arts (SCAPA was often used as an excuse to attend my high school if you were out of district) you were a nobody really. Our basketball team won the State Sweet 16 once but that was our only sports-related claim to fame. People went to the football games to see the band play-not the cheerleaders or the actual game.
