Founded 35 years ago in the creative capital of Los Angeles, LACHSA – the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts – is one of America’s premiere public arts high schools for student artists whose undeniable talent and fearlessly authentic voices change the world.

Working with professional teaching artists to sharpen their critical thinking and strengthen their skills, LACHSA students develop the confidence to courageously share their art with the world. They go on to attend top colleges and arts conservatory programs and establish themselves as leaders in their chosen fields of art or study. Without exception, LACHSA students become the significant artists and individuals they were always meant to be.
LACHSA Foundation
Supporting LACHSA Since 1985
For 35 years the non-profit LACHSA Foundation has worked to entirely fund the actual costs of the arts curriculum from a broad base of donors who recognize the value of supporting these remarkable student artists so they can engage in this exceptional public school.
Without their support our class and this magazine would not exist.
We are exceptionally grateful for the work they do.
