[quote=Anonymous]Hello,

The Arts program will be launched at the Armstrong campus.  FPCS has always had a reputation for being one of the few charter organizations to offer more arts offerings than just music and visual arts.  Those are the required courses for graduation but many campuses also offer dance and drama through the school day as well as extended learning.  The Tech Prep campus has a very successful award-winning dance team.  Collegiate has produced full musical productions such as "The Wiz, Dreamgirls, Annie, Little Shop of Horrors, Hair Spray, Color Purple, Cinderella, The Lion King and Polly since 2009.  They even re-staged "The Wiz" at the Lincoln Theater with a red carpet roll out for the students.  Friendship is not new to the arts.  In fact, in 2018, their board voted to ensure that every campus (8 in DC), had at least one full time music, visual art and foreign language teacher on staff.  Friendship recognized the disservice that was to be - as the only arts school for students in DC, they stepped in and took action.  [/quote]
