Arts
Music in our Schools Month!
In each of our zones, our Secondary Music Programs have taken a day to travel to each of our feeder schools. At each school school site, our programs share their love for music, how they got into music at the secondary level, and community that the performing arts bring to students at the middle school level. The above photo is the CMHS Vocal Ensemble performing in front of the student body at College Park Elementary School.
DONATE AN INSTRUMENT
If you have any unused musical instruments, please contact us or your child's school for information on how to make a tax-deductible donation that can help a deserving student. Band & orchestra instruments, guitars & ukuleles, hand drums, and small percussion are all needed.
“The arts especially address the idea of aesthetic experience. An aesthetic experience is one in which your senses are operating at their peak; when you’re present in the current moment; when you’re resonating with the excitement of this thing that you’re experiencing; when you are fully alive.”
― Ken Robinson
"The world always seems brighter when you've just made something that wasn't there before."
- Neil Gaiman
"To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it."
- Kurt Vonnegut

About Us
Newport- Mesa Unified believes that every student must have access to education and opportunities in the Visual and Performing Arts. The district is divided into 4 zones, each based upon the four comprehensive high schools that our middle and elementary schools feed into. There are arts opportunities at every site for every child.
We have partnerships with the city, community organizations, and arts communities throughout Orange County. We have created venues for student performances, written grants to enhance technology and learning in the arts, and have hosted events and festivals that allow our students to shine.
.For more information about visual and performing arts programs available to your child, please visit each individual school's website.
