Alumni registration information emailed to all Spectrum alumni this month.

If you moved or transferred out of the CMS system since last year’s program, you will no longer be eligible to attend Spectrum of the Arts as an alumni. Nomination information delivered to Elementary TD Teachers and Middle School Academic Facilitators at their department meetings in December and January, respectively. The information is then distributed at the school level to nominating teachers (dance, art, drama, music, homeroom, English Language Arts, etc.). Students who have “aged out” and previously attended Spectrum may apply to be interns. Please complete the Intern Application by mid-January 2023 if you are interested in becoming an intern for the 2023 Spectrum of the Arts program.
