What is F.O.P.A?

F.O.P.A. stands for the Friends of the Performing Arts.  It is a parent booster group, which exists to support the students. Support includes: assisting students financially to ensure that every student can have a uniform, buy music not covered in the school’s budget, help provide transportation to various choral events throughout the school year, providing chaperones for choral trips.  We also sponsor many different Fund Raisers throughout the year to help students raise needed funds for uniforms and for the Spring trip. Please Join!
