Two students from Newton County have the opportunity to complete their junior and senior years of high school at the Mississippi School of the Arts in Brookhaven.
New MSA Juniors from Newton County include: Wesly Boykin of Conehatta, who was accepted in Vocal Music, and Elizabeth Hall of Decatur, who was accepted in Dance.
The Mississippi School of the Arts (MSA) is an eleventh and twelfth grade visual and performing arts residential, public high school located in Brookhaven, MS. Students not only meet and exceed the traditional Mississippi high school curriculum, they receive special instruction in visual arts, vocal music, dance, literary arts, filmmaking/media arts and theatre. Students interested in MSA apply by February 1st of their sophomore year. In additions to MSA students consistently winning awards for their work on the state, regional and national levels, the school holds the #2 highest ACT average in the state.
MSA is a great school for those students who want to explore the arts in an extraordinary way. We also fill a special need for students with demonstrated talent that need a collegiate level learning experience in the arts that is not widely available across our state.
