Center for the Fine and Performing Arts
The Center for the Fine and Performing Arts at Charles J. Colgan Sr. High School offers students the opportunity to develop creativity, self-expression, academic achievement, and critical thinking as young arts. Students are supported in their efforts to master a common core of learning that promotes a broader understanding of the arts.
