On Monday February 22, 2010, students from the High School for Recording Arts received a $100,000 Youth Advisory Board grant from State Farm Insurance. The students worked over the summer to write the grant and their hard work paid off. The students will use the grant money to work with Gillette Children’s Hospital, KS95 94.5FM and 963 Now 96.3FM on a campaign called “Ready For The Road”. The Campaign will be about eliminating driving distractions through awareness and new legislation. Congratulations to all the students at HSRA for their outstanding work and accomplishments.

Play Your Cards Right… Graduate!!!

Posted by Bryan Rossi on November 20th, 2009

High School for Recording Arts is so proud of this fall’s graduates. These students would not give up and October and September rewarded them with their justly deserved, hard-earned diplomas. Each of these students met with their graduation committee to present their digital portfolio where they reviewed their Minnesota Graduation Requirements, created a resume with the Minnesota Department of Economic Resources, and presented their committee with a letter verifying they had been admitted to a college or post-secondary institution as part of their post high school plans. (Please see the digital portfolio link at the bottom of this page for the minimum rubric).

Congratulations, graduates!!
