The Arts
Self-expression is Central to our community.
From talented musicians to compelling actors, from inspiring vocalists to powerful photographers, from skilled fine artists to experimental creators and entertainers, Central student-artists are awe-inspiring.
Here, students expand and exhibit their talents in an arts program that is broad and flexible enough to inspire unlimited self-expression – and their passion and skills are reflected in their one-of-a-kind personal creations.
