Arts That Transform Lives at MPS

Welcome to Muskegon Public Schools, where the Arts aren't extras—they provide an essential foundation for each student touched by the arts as preparation for the education they will receive through the Innovation Academies of Muskegon. In the I AM Academies, every Big Red graduate builds the creative problem-solving abilities, adaptable communication skills, and collaborative leadership qualities outlined in our MPS Portrait of a Graduate.

From elementary ensemble performances to leadership opportunities, from theater productions that build confidence to music ensembles that teach teamwork, our students have the opportunity to discover their voice and develop their vision every day at MPS. Our comprehensive programs strive to develop young leaders who don't just succeed—they innovate, inspire others, and contribute to our community.

What makes the Arts at MPS special:

Character Building Through Arts - Theater builds confidence, music teaches teamwork, art develops vision
Leadership Opportunities - Student council, NHS, drama productions, and ensemble leadership roles
Real-World Skills - Communication, collaboration, and creative problem-solving employers seek
Community Impact - Performances, exhibitions, and service projects that make a difference
