Community Partners is devoted to arts education for children and the community as a whole. 

As an emerging performing arts program, the faculty, staff, and administration of the Community Partners Outlet PAC have the distinct opportunity to train, educate, and nurture today’s young talent to become tomorrow’s artists.  The school has an environment where creativity and imagination are evidenced daily in the classroom, rehearsals, and performances.  Participants team with faculty, parents, professional artists, and community members to develop, perfect, and practice their craft in artistic experiences, uncommon to any regular program setting.  Students’ success is founded on commitment and discipline applied to the artistic program, and success is enhanced by the organization’s rich diversity and understanding of the creative spirit.

History

The Outlet Performing Arts Program began in 2013 with Harvey Shephard and Lenay Nichols who were interested in music, dancing, and acting.  

A volunteer staff made up of parents, former participants and caring community members who believe in the program provide leadership to the youth who attend rehearsals during non-school hours.
