The Recognition
The Indian Springs High School Performing Arts Center received recognition from American School & University Magazine for Outstanding Design in its November 2018 Architecture Portfolio issue, the ultimate tribute to educational design excellence.
The project was also internationally recognized through a feature story in the June 2019 issue of Auditoria Magazine. The article, “Hope Springs Eternal,” highlighted the center as “not only a flexible educational resource, but a beacon for the wider community.”
This Performing Arts Center reflects our belief that every student deserves a stage worthy of their talent and a space that unites education with expression.
