Congratulations to our Theatre Arts III - IV Honors Students for their FIRST PLACE WIN of the Catoctin District on November 1st and their SECOND PLACE WIN for REGIONALS 4C on November 15th 2025. Their excellent One Act of Badger by Don Zolidis told the story of 4 young women entering the workforce during WWII.

Students have the unique opportunity to critique their peers in selected plays and musicals through the Cappies program, a tradition that began in the 1990s and continues with the NCA Cappies.
