The new Performing Arts Center is a necessity for the Good Counsel student of today.

Our school requires that all students study the arts as a part of their academic program, and as many as one-third of our students are engaged in some type of performing arts activity at any point in time.  At present, Good Counsel has no proper facility for rehearsals; performances; costume, prop, or set design and storage.  Additionally, we do not have adequate space and proper acoustics for large meetings and lectures.

The Performing Arts Center is projected at $10 million.

The new design provides for not only a beautiful theatre to seat half the student body and half the faculty at any time, but also the orchestra pit, set design, costume and prop construction and storage, dressing rooms, a dance studio, blackbox theatre, and instructional spaces to support a growing educational program in the arts.  The design requires excavation below the stage, construction above, and the infrastructure to connect these spaces to the performance chamber.

The addition of a true Performing Arts Center to our beautiful campus will fulfill our commitment to provide the very best Catholic, college-preparatory education with the most advanced facilities and equipment, ensuring the best outcome for every student who becomes part of our community.  It is a challenge that our community should embrace.  And it will, at last, give the arts their proper balance beside faith, academics, athletics, and service as cornerstones of the educational experience.

All our students deserve this home for the arts.
