Center for the Arts

Cypress Lake High School's secondary campus, the Center for Arts, was established in 1994 and is exclusively for students with a concentration in one of the arts programs; it is located north of the main campus and consists of five distinct departments. In the past, Cypress Lake High School and Cypress Lake Center for the Arts were separate institutions and therefore had separate sets of administration and staff. Students attending Cypress Lake Center for the Arts would take their academic classes at Cypress Lake High School. Today, they are one coherent school, with the same staff and administration.

Arts programs offered at the school:

Media Arts: The Media Department specializes in television production and digital editing. The department's video editing technique is non-linear, using Adobe Premiere. The department has a full-sized television studio, with four cameras and a fully functional control room, as well as a full computer lab.

Music: The Music Department is divided into three smaller departments run by individual teachers, each focusing on orchestra, vocal, or band, along with running a music theory class. In 2003, the Camerata Orchestra was invited to National Orchestra Festival. The A Capella Group (referred to simply as TAG) has also received national recognition, competing in competitions from New York City to Memphis, TX. [8] The A Capella Group also releases an album at the end of each school year, and has since 2015. Each album compiles covers of popular songs mixed with original arrangements and songs. In 2009, the Cypress Lake Wind Ensemble performed at Carnegie Hall for the National Band Festival. [9]

Dance: The Dance Department teaches Ballet, Choreography, Dance Tech, and Repertory. There are two large dance floors and instructors. Shows are put on in school's Auditorium.
