We are excited to share that Mrs. Jessica Lucas, our dance educator, has been selected to serve on the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) Chapter 4 Committee’s standards writing team.

After a highly competitive process with 177 applications reviewed, Jessica was chosen as one of 46 experts representing dance, media arts, music, theatre, and visual art from across Pennsylvania. This cohort of individuals is deeply committed to ensuring the highest quality arts education for all Pennsylvania students.
