Mission Statement
The mission of the Raritan High School Performing Arts Academy is to provide students an opportunity to study the performing arts at an advanced level while attending a traditional high school and to pursue careers in the performing arts at prestigious schools and institutions of the arts. Performing Arts Academy students will participate in a college-preparatory curriculum of studies and will experience all disciplines of the Academy. Unlike traditional arts academies where students focus on only one aspect of the performing arts, the RHS PAA introduces theatre, dance, instrumental, and vocal music to all of its members to create a well-rounded artist.
