Express Yourself
Self-Expression and Creativity Pre-K through 12
At St. Elizabeth, students have the opportunity to excel in the arts. With a wide variety of options from courses, clubs and activities, students can excel in their individual artistic interests. Our Benedictine Performing Arts Center (BPAC) and art studios provide a perfect environment for students to explore their creativity, hone their skills and showcase their work across the Pre-K through 12 program.
Visual Arts, Music, and Performing Arts are fundamental parts of the overall student experience at St. Elizabeth. Our programs are designed to be inclusive, any student may participate. Most students explore the arts through academic classes and enrichment activities, during activity periods for high school students, and after school. Our schedule is planned so students do not have to choose between participating in the arts or another activity, like athletics.

Performing Arts
Explore Your Passion for the Performing Arts
From plays and musical programs to full-scale dramatic productions, St. Elizabeth students grow through active participation and explore creative imagination and self-expression both on and off stage. Two school productions are hosted throughout the year, one in the fall and one in the spring. Students can expand and diversify their performance skills through productions spanning several genres. Students' talents are also showcased during our High School and Elementary School Variety Shows.
Our performing arts program offers our elementary school students the opportunity to experience the arts at a young age. So many students, who would normally seem shy and introverted, have been transformed into vibrant, confident, and outgoing individuals as they encountered the positive power of theatre for the first time in our school.
If you do not want to be in the spotlight but still enjoy participation in the performing arts then Stage Crew is the perfect area to explore. Stage crew members operate light and sound equipment in the auditorium, gym, and elsewhere as needed. They assist with all theatre productions, assemblies, pray services, special events and more, setting up and handling all equipment. Members gain practical knowledge and experience with technology and practices of theater operations.
Visual & Fine Arts
Pursue Your Artistic Interests
The visual arts program provides the tools essential for any young artist to challenge themselves and define their visual voice. Students have the opportunity to explore their artistic interests through our project based curriculum. Student artwork is constantly on display, in classrooms, hallways, and at shows and performances on and off campus, showcasing creativity across the K-12 program.
