The Monroe County Schools Fine Arts Center is an integral part of the school system’s efforts to fulfill its mission “to motivate and inspire a passion for learning so all students learn, grow and succeed.” In its efforts to fulfill this mission, the school system is guided by the belief that a youngster’s education should include opportunities to be involved in and participate in a wide variety of experiences. Monroe County students at all grade levels are able to take part in academic and extra-curricular activities, including band, chorus, drama and musical theater and many visual arts programs. What was missing from that robust arts program was a venue that allowed the students to demonstrate their various talents. The Monroe County Schools Fine Arts Center, which opened early in 2017, provides that performance venue as well as space for visual arts displays and exhibits. During each school year, Monroe County’s three elementary schools, its middle school and its high school all stage musical theater productions. Elementary, middle and high schools bands and choruses – which regularly rate superior and excellent at interscholastic competitions – present seasonal concerts during the school year. The Fine Arts Center features a 1,200-seat theater facing a 5,000-square-foot stage.
