ENCORE - Performing and Visual Arts
ENCORE Mission Statement
The Encore program at Maria Carrillo High School provides the finest quality arts instruction, combining all its visual and performing arts. The study of art enriches intellectual, emotional, and social skills, and the production of art is a manifestation of that compassionate growth.
Encore is dedicated to offering access to various art forms, highlighting students’ strengths and encouraging them through nurturing and dynamic challenges. Encore students are provided with a safe haven to develop and mature their performing and visual skills among the standards of a professional environment. We provide a wide range of opportunities and techniques to broaden the students’ vision and forms of expression, and pursue these goals as individuals and collaborators among competitive and non-competitive environments.
Working to build proficiency and provide Encore students with all levels of opportunity, it is our goal to cultivate unique artists, actors, singers, dancers, musicians, designers, technicians, writers, directors, and other industry personnel. Our students are artists who also understand the business of their industry, and the smart steps necessary to thrive within it.
Whether they continue their education and find fulfilling jobs in the arts, or bring their creative perspectives into other fields of study, we elevate the whole student as a cultured, compassionate, and innovative person.
We invite you to peruse the variety of class offerings listed here, and to attend our events posted on our calendar. Feel free to email us!
