ACHIEVING GREATNESS, ONE STUDENT AT A TIME

The Fine Arts Department creates imaginative worlds for children in East Baton Rouge Parish

EBRPSS PROVIDES fine arts classes dedicated to visual and performing arts in more than 70 schools. Students in these courses learn team building, critical thinking and problem-solving. However, the Fine Arts Department wanted to do even more for students and bring the city quality education for all.

The EBRP School Board agreed to renovate the Broadmoor Middle School site into a dedicated conservatory. It will be the first of its kind in Baton Rouge to serve students in grades 6-12. The School Board stated the conservatory would provide families with an additional educational opportunity for their children.

Placing this unique form of academic programming will enhance the district’s current offerings within the portfolio of schools. In collaboration with the district’s Fine Arts Department and Magnet Programs, the district intends to implement a priority zone that reflects a component of the previous and historical attendance zone for the former Broadmoor Middle School site.

The school is projected to open for the 2024-2025 school year.
