About:

The Visual and Performing Arts programs of Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) are dedicated to nurturing creativity, self-expression, and artistic excellence in every student. Through comprehensive instruction in music, theatre, dance, and visual arts, we empower students to explore their talents, build confidence, and connect with their communities.
We are proud to celebrate the incredible achievements of our teachers, students, school and district leaders, and community arts partners. Congratulations to everyone on OCPS being named one of NAMM's Best Communities for Music Education and EdTA's Premier Communities for Theatre Education! These prestigious designations reflect our unwavering commitment to arts education and the collaborative spirit that makes our programs thrive.
Together, we continue to inspire, innovate, and elevate the arts across Orange County.
