Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter School

Résumé
The Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter School is a tuition-free, American public charter school that is located in Midland, Pennsylvania, roughly thirty-five miles (56 km) northwest of Pittsburgh. It enrolls students in grades seven through twelve from home districts in Beaver, Allegheny, Washington, Butler, and Lawrence counties. This school is run by a seven-member board of directors that appoints the school's administration, which consists of a CEO, Principal, Vice Principal, Director of Curriculum, and Business Manager. It offers seven majors to its enrolled students: five artistic majors (Theatre, Music, Dance, Media Arts, Writing & Publishing), as well as Pre-Law and Health Science. The school and its associated performing arts center house a 750-seat mainstage theater with rehearsal and support space, a blackbox theater, three dance studios, music ensemble rehearsal spaces, practice rooms, and fully-equipped TV and recording studios, all in addition to standard academic facilities. Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center is built on the site of Midland Borough's former Lincoln High School. Lincoln High closed in 1987 after the collapse of the local steel industry led to a steep population drop in Midland. As a result, the town became increasingly depressed, and Midland Borough School District, along with town leaders, initiated the construction of the Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center and Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter School. Lincoln Park offers a variety of clubs and activities typical to a traditional public school, such as student council, National Honor Society, musical ensembles, and a school newspaper. It also features various extra-curricular extensions of in-class arts instruction, such as improv nights, student-directed one-acts and experimental theatre, student films, fine art showcases, BatCat Press (a student-run independent publisher), various dance and choreography showcases, and a house band, among others.
