Overton High

Overton High is a very special school in part because it is an Optional School for the Creative and Performing Arts. One fourth of the student population is at Overton because they have chosen to be in this Optional Program. Overton has 4 Academies: CAPA, University, Professional, and Ninth Grade. The benefit to students who are not in an Optional Program is that they get to experience world-class performances by their peers. They also experience a high degree of academic rigor that is in place for all students. With the increasing array of AP classes, Honors Classes, and Honor Vocational Courses, Overton is quickly becoming the top school for both the academics and arts.

Motto:

Producing Stars in the Classroom and on Stage.

Vision Statement
