About Our Program

As one of the district's first Linked Learning Certified sites and a founding member of LAUSD’s pilot school movement, LAHSA is a leader in educational innovation with an established culture of academic, artistic and personal achievement.

LAHSA is a true STEAM school. Our Career Technical Education pathways in Performing & Media Arts (Professional Theatre) and Production & Managerial Arts (Technical Theatre and Design) are taught by working artists using industry-leading concepts.  In addition to the rigorous theatre arts program, LAHSA offers courses and experiences in computer science, computer-aided drafting (AutoCAD), environmental science, robotics, and physiology. LAHSA’s innovative arts program has been featured in Univision, Telemundo, La Opinion, and Smithsonian Magazine. 

With an in-depth focus on nurturing relationships, LAHSA staff often provides one-on-one mentorship to students in order to help them define and achieve goals. LAHSA alumni attend colleges such as Penn State, USC, UCLA, Berkeley, CSUN, and CSULA, just to name a few. Through LAHSA's work-based learning program, students gain real-world internship experiences in the areas of performing arts, law, medicine, education, and much more.
