Our Pride
What sets West Port High School apart from
other high schools is the collaboration among the arts teachers, as well
as the collaboration with other curriculum areas. When it comes to putting
on a production such as Don Quixote, the entire school is involved. Students
are reading the novel, the art students are designing posters and promotional
material, the orchestra is working on the music, dancers are part of
the production, and the theatre students are working on their final main
stage production of the year. Students genuinely care about each other
and celebrate the success of all students.
The faculty is recognized statewide as well as nationally and internationally.
Teachers are featured presenters at national conferences and are asked
to do workshops in the U.S. as well as abroad. Most of the faculty have
at least a MFA and three have been recognized in our district as Golden
Apple Teachers.
Students and staff at West Port High School understand the value of
the arts in education and have created a mutually supportive environment
that allows all students to succeed.
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 is
special because our 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 in learning something new.
Last year students in our arts programs were awarded over half a million
dollars in scholarships to some of the most highly competitive art schools
in the nation. Some of these students had never participated in the arts
before coming to West Port High School. We think that is pretty special!
