Uncommon High School Performing Arts Teachers foster a love for learning in every student. Our Performing Arts program is culturally-responsive, fast-paced, and funâwith plenty of acting, dancing, and singing in every lesson. Teachers cultivate communication skills and build student self-confidence by sharing their expertise in musical theater. We have built a community that encourages respect, hard work, and celebrates our students academic and nonacademic achievements. Our performance based program goal is to train students to express their authentic unique selves with confidence.
