Arts School Status
As far back as 2004, the school had been pursuing arts school status, which would provide for a more focused curriculum enhanced with state-of-the-art equipment. In September 2007, the school became a College of Visual Arts. Students will be taught all disciplines in art. Recently opened is the Digital Photography Suite which is intended not only for school use but for community groups. The school is to be equipped with its own art gallery.

Famous quotes containing the words arts, school and/or status:
“It never was in the power of any man or any community to call the arts into being. They come to serve his actual wants, never to please his fancy.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“...I believed passionately that Communists were a race of horned men who divided their time equally between the burning of Nancy Drew books and the devising of a plan of nuclear attack that would land the largest and most lethal bomb squarely upon the third-grade class of Thomas Jefferson School in Morristown, New Jersey.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
“[In early adolescence] she becomes acutely aware of herself as a being perceived by others, judged by others, though she herself is the harshest judge, quick to list her physical flaws, quick to undervalue and under-rate herself not only in terms of physical appearance but across a wide range of talents, capacities and even social status, whereas boys of the same age will cite their abilities, their talents and their social status pretty accurately.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
