About the PAVE Program: The PAVE program, begun in 1999, is an intensive four-year program for students excited about the arts. Many students completing our PAVE program have established successful careers in the arts. Those who did not pursue the arts as a career report that their time in the PAVE program helped them develop the necessary skills to succeed in their chosen career path.
It is equally valuable for interested students in all academic situations: from students with challenging academic course loads who wish to develop their creative talents to those who show promise and interest in the arts but need a little extra motivation to attend all their scheduled classes. It is a wonderful way to nurture and showcase talented students to the district and the greater community.
