ALPHA Arts

The ALPHA Arts program is CCSD's gifted and talented arts program. Selection for this program is based on nomination and selection by screening and audition for music students or portfolio adjudication for art students. Nomination forms are sent out in the fall to students in grades 3-12, and screening and auditions/portfolio adjudications happen in the spring. Students who are identified as GT in the arts are invited to participate in ALPHA Arts.
