In January 2008, the The Leadership Conservatory for the Arts at
Tarpon Springs High School became the District's 11th countywide
magnet program. The conservatory is a world-class learning center
of excellence creating a discovery zone for developing musicians,
dancers and artists. This program integrates leadership skills,
performing arts, rigorous academics and technology into a seamless
curriculum that prepares today’s students for the shift to
tomorrow’s challenges. Students without extensive formal training
who want to develop their talent and have the desire to be leaders
need to apply.
The
student application period for countywide magnet programs for
the 2010 - 2011 school year was is January 9 - 29, 2010. If you
missed the enrollment period, contact Assistant Principal Wayne
McKnight (contact information below) regarding the possibility of
late enrollment.
Enrollment is open to incoming 9th graders from throughout Pinellas
County who may select one of two tracks:
- Leadership Through Instrumental Music
- Leadership Through Vocal Music
Other components of the Arts magnet curriculum
including drama and theater, dance, and visual arts will be added
in future years.
