Clovis Unified demonstrates a strong commitment to the Visual and Performing Arts (VAPA). This commitment is to the students of CUSD as well as the community at large. We believe that the Fine Arts are an integral part of any society…so they must be part of a student’s education. In addition to curricular courses offered grades 1-12 in the Arts, CUSD provides over 95 VAPA programs that are co-curricular in nature. From choir to band to orchestra…from photography to drama to ceramics…dance to art to stagecraft…students have opportunities to immerse themselves in the Arts. Our classrooms and our Performing Arts venues (The Mercedes Edwards Theater and the Performing Arts Center) are some of the finest in the state. VAPA is a way of life in Clovis Unified.
