There's no modest way to say that amazing things happen when our teachers seek--and find--the extraordinary in our students. School, and last through the 12th grade. Discovering one's own special talents can be a thing of beauty--visually, aurally, intellectually--but most of all, personally. In one way, performing arts represent a student's best chance to answer the question: Who else am I? An important part of a transformative education is to help students answer it. Music teachers might be professional musicians themselves. Our theatre teachers have included accomplished actors, designers, and directors. Students may choose to immerse themselves in AP music theory, choir, jazz/ orchestra, world drumming, acting, musical theatre, directing, theatre tech, and more. students perform not only for the Prairie community, but off-campus as well, including guest musical performances with the Racine Symphony and Choral Arts Society and other local venues.
