Grades listed refer to the grade the student will complete in May 2025. For 2025 only, students exiting 8th grade may choose to participate with either the Middle School or the High School group. This decision MUST be made at the time of registration, as space in each group is limited. For all ages, this year’s Summer Arts Academy will focus on education and technique, giving students a strong foundation for the future. There will be a final showcase performance, but the emphasis will be on what the students learn and not the performance. The 2025 SAA staff is Jamie Moss, Liam Coursey, Quinn Coursey, and Dawn Connerley.
