Anthony's story is a wonderful example of how the combination of exceptional arts education, strong academics, and creative thinking at Dreyfoos empowers students to pursue their passions and make an impact far beyond the classroom.

🎥 IN THE SPOTLIGHT: DREYFOOS SCHOOL OF THE ARTS FOUNDATION!

As the School District of Palm Beach County faces significant budget cuts and funding challenges, the role of the Dreyfoos School of the Arts Foundation is more important than ever.

As a public magnet high school, Dreyfoos relies on private support through the Foundation to supplement district funding and provide the exceptional arts and academic opportunities that make our school so special.

From world-class guest artists and specialized equipment to enhanced educational programs and student scholarships, the Foundation helps bridge the gap between what public funding provides and what our talented students need to thrive.

🎬 Today's episode of DSOA Today shines a spotlight on the Foundation and the vital role our generous donors, community partners, and supporters play in making the Dreyfoos experience possible.

We are grateful to the DSOA Today student journalists for highlighting our mission and sharing the importance of investing in arts education!

💙 Together, we make the extraordinary possible.

🌿🦋 A little patch of nature making a BIG impact at Dreyfoos!

Dreyfoos School of the Arts is officially home to a new Pocket Refuge! 🌱

On October 15, students from the Good Thyme Garden Club () partnered with the National Wildlife Refuge Association to transform a patch of campus lawn into a thriving native wildlife habitat!

The project brought to life a longtime vision of Social Studies teacher Mrs. Stout, with club president Faith Walters and fellow students planting 30 native plants to create a welcoming space for butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators. 🦋🐝

As the 19th Pocket Refuge established through the South Florida Urban Wildlife Refuge Project, this garden is a beautiful reminder that even small spaces can make a big difference! 🌎

A special thank you to National Wildlife Refuge Association and all the community partners who helped make this possible!
