4.5 Weeks. One Full Broadway Musical. 100% Career Pathway Focused.

AUHSD takes immense pride in fully funding our Summer Arts Academy, ensuring this incredible experience is 100% free for all students and audiences. In just four and a half weeks, talented students from across the entire district come together to build, rehearse, and perform a full-scale Broadway musical—complete with an all-student cast, crew, and live orchestra.

Because of the lightning-fast timeline and strict state/federal funding guidelines, our district budget cannot cover certain immediate, day-to-day essentials. That’s why we need you!

Your donation to the AUHSD Foundation's Arts Education Fund provides the flexible, rapid-response funding needed to support our students during this intense creative sprint:

Fuel for the Marathon: Healthy meals and tech-week dinners to keep energy high during grueling, fast-paced rehearsals.
Company Unity: Commemorative Academy T-shirts to unite students from different schools into one cohesive company.
Opening Night Emergencies: Immediate funds for those inevitable, last-minute costume fixes, prop adjustments, and set repairs.

The district provides the stage and the staff, but your generosity takes care of the students making the magic happen under pressure. Help us bring down the house!
