Through the department’s three guiding principles we aim to teach, create and be fiscally sound:
​
-
Academic alignment and implementation of the International Baccalaureate Theatre (IB Theatre) program, and State’s Visual and Performing Arts (VAPA) standards
-
Artistic inclusiveness by embracing ethnic, gender, and lifestyle diversity, and
-
Fiscal responsibility in the pursuit and the development of the NHHS stage productions
