Arts-Integrated High School Earns Grant from Oklahoma Arts Council

qtq80-Mdv4Dz

Harding Fine Arts Academy (Academy), an arts-integrated charter high school, was recently awarded a grant from the Oklahoma Arts Council through the Classroom Supply Grant program.

The Classroom Supply Grant program provides funding for essential single-use art supplies. The Academy was awarded $500 to purchase supplies for the HFAA Drama Department and HFAA Instrumental Music Department.

“By providing single-use supplies for the drama and music programs, students will also be able to take pride in their craft,” said Superintendent Taylor Stanton. “This sense of pride and accomplishment will naturally expand into multiple areas of the students’ lives. The grant funding provided by the Oklahoma Arts Council is vital to student success in the classroom and beyond.”

These grant funds will be used to support the HFAA Drama Department by purchasing single use costumes, props and make up, and for the HFAA Instrumental Music Department by purchasing instrument maintenance supplies like cork grease, reeds and valve oil.

Message from the Superintendent – July 2023

Dear Alumni, Donors, and Friends: Last month Assistant Principal Mary Lakey and I had the tremendous opportunity to attend the National Charter Schools Conference (NCSC 23) in Austin, TX. NCSC 23 proved to be a remarkable experience providing opportunities to exchange innovative ideas, gain insights into emerging educational practices, and connect with passionate individuals who share our commitment to providing exceptional education. As I reflect on our participation in NCSC 23, I am reminded of a quote from author Jim Stovall that resonates deeply with me: “Education is a lifelong journey whose destination expands as you travel.” I firmly believe that investing in professional development not only benefits our dedicated faculty and staff but also translates into enhanced educational experiences for our students. It is through ongoing education that we continue to provide high-quality arts-integrated instruction and nurture the talents of each student at Harding Fine Arts Academy. I would like to express my gratitude for your unwavering support in our pursuit of professional development opportunities. It is your belief in our mission and your dedication to the growth of our school that empowers us to continually strive for excellence. As we move forward, we will be sharing the knowledge and insights gained at NCSC 23 with our faculty and staff, incorporating innovative practices into our classrooms, and leveraging our learnings to create an even more vibrant and engaging educational environment for our students. Thank you once again for your ongoing support and for being an integral part of the Firehawk Family. Together, let us continue to embrace the value of lifelong learning and empower our students to achieve their dreams and make a positive impact on the world. Yours in ARTS, Taylor C. Stanton Superintendent Harding Fine Arts Academy
