Welcome to the Rancho Campana High School Arts & Entertainment Academy! Students in the Arts and Entertainment Academy follow a pathway in Commercial Photography, Video Production or Theatre. Students must complete a three-course pathway by the end of their high school career to meet the academy requirements (more detail provided in links above.)
Each career pathway is designed to provide students with curricular and co-curricular experiences that are modeled after the arts industry. In the classroom, students gain technical skills in their chosen discipline, and engage in project-based learning, where they develop as communicators, collaborators, critical and creative thinkers.
Students also participate in work-based learning activities where they develop career skills, hear from guest speakers in their industry, attend field trips, attend job-shadowing events, and explore internship opportunities for their senior year.
