Acalanes High School held its first ever Performing Arts Senior Recognition Day May 30 in the Big Gym to honor the following eight seniors who will be going on to major or minor in the Performing Arts in college: Isabelle Del Sesto (Screenwriting - NYU); Maverick Fabela (Music Performance - USC); Gracie Guichard (Drama - Otterbein University); Katie Heaton (Set Design - Fordham University); Jonathan Le (Songwriting/Music Industry - Berklee College of Music); Natalia Mazeffa (Music Production - San Francisco State University); Henry Plumb (Music Performance - Berklee College of Music); Emma Workman (Music Education/French Horn - University of Michigan).

For each of these talented students, being selected for one of these competitive programs represents the culmination of many years of hard work during their time at Acalanes. Most were required to submit to extensive auditions and portfolio presentations as part of the application process before being accepted into their chosen field of study.
