Arts Honor Society

9/14/2025

 
The Arts Honor Society recognizes CLPS students who exhibit excellence in the fine arts. Members of the AHS are musicians, artists, or thespians who desire to enjoy the arts with others, serve their community with their artistic skills, and grow as leaders in our school.

Upper school students who participated or are currently participating in at least one upper school fine arts seasonal course (choir, solo and ensemble, drama production, or art club) may join the Arts Honor Society.
​
Areas of Focus
  1. Creation: As a fine arts honor society, the AHS is centered on creation and enjoyment of art, music, and theatre. Members may create different things together throughout the year, and we will have several opportunities to enjoy art, music, and theatre in our community by attending concerts, plays, or museums together.
  2. Service: Members will serve the school and broader community with their talents in the fine arts. Members of AHS will have opportunities to participate in service opportunities throughout the school year.
  3. Leadership: Members will also receive leadership training from other leads in the arts. This is a great opportunity to be mentored and be part of a larger community of artistic people. Additionally, members may be eligible to serve in a leadership position within AHS, such as President, Vice President, Historian, and Treasurer)
Our first meeting is during lunch this Wednesday, September 17 in the 5/6 Room. 

CLPS Students Participate in ACCS National Honor Choir

7/30/2025

 
Picture
Incoming juniors Sophie Sutton and William Cronin participated in the National Honor Choir of the Association Classical Christian Schools (ACCS) this summer. After auditioning for a spot in this competitive event, Sophie and William joined other students from ACCS schools around the country to prepare songs to sing at the national ACCS "Repairing the Ruins" Conference in Dallas. This week-long intensive music training helps students grow as singers and musicians while having fellowship with students from around the country.
Picture
After the final concert, Sophie Sutton said this about the experience: “It was amazing! I learned so much about my voice and how to use it. Singing with a big group really builds community—I made so many lasting connections. Everyone was so kind and godly, and the Bible studies really impacted how I sang the Scriptures, too. It was absolutely my favorite summer experience!”

William Cronin remarked, "It was an absolute blast! I have never connected to other people so quickly as I did here. Everyone I met had a great heart for the Lord."

​Congratulations to Sophie and William for the remarkable accomplishment!

Here is a video of the full concert:

Fine Arts Red Carpet Night

Upper School Drama Brings Pride and Prejudice to the Stage

5/10/2025

 
Picture
The upper school drama season culminated in a three-show run of the play Pride and Prejudice at Altamesa Church of Christ. This drama production kicked off at the end of February with our first rehearsals of this beloved play. We had a cast of 28 students putting on a full show at 2 hours and 15 minutes, which is the longest non-musical show we have done at CLPS. Students memorized 72 full pages of dialogue. Rosalie Ernest (Elizabeth Bennet) clocked in the most memorization hours of any student!
​

The technical aspect of this show was incredibly complex! We had 4 light technicians, 2 sound technicians, and a large group of cast working all the set changes. With 43 sound cues and extremely detailed light cues occurring between 4 light technicians, as well as set changes every few minutes, this show proved how hard-working our technicians are. They brought our show home beautifully.

Spring Revue: A Showcase of Student Creativity

Over 50 CLPS students put together a wonderful showcase of skits, ensembles, solos, and musical theater pieces for the Fine Arts Spring Revue on Friday, February 28.

    Who we are

    The Fine Arts Department strives to cultivate in the heart of each student a love of beauty, recognizing that our Creator is the source of all beauty. Students learn to discern order, harmony, goodness, and truth in art, as well as engage in creating beautiful art, both fundamental human activities through which we strive toward the Ideal of Christ.
