What is the Center for the Arts?
The Center for the Arts at Cypress Lake High School, an "Arts Achieve Model School," was created in 1994 to offer an enriched arts education for students with a passion and talent in music, theatre, dance, visual arts, and media arts. The program is designed to develop both the artistic and academic skills of students in order to help them achieve their personal goals.
