Each year, our school participates in a program sponsored by the Straz Center in Tampa, Florida.  This is a Regional Qualifier for the National High School Musical Theatre Awards (the Jimmys) in NYC. In addition to getting nominated or winning an "Outstanding" title, this is also a fantastic opportunity for our students to be seen by and gain feedback from area professionals.
