Student and Parent Participation

More than 800 students participate annually in Lawrence Central’s Performing Arts Program.  This means that more than one third of LC’s student body is involved in the arts.  Many students participate in two or more ensembles!

All parents of Performing Arts students are members of the full board of the LCPAA.  Please join us for our monthly meetings to help guide the program.  We typically meet the second Monday of every month in the Choir Room (enter through door 15).  Check the the Master Calendar for specific dates and time.
