Center for Creative Arts

Wishing all the best to the one and only Mr. Vincent Hale, who was offered the big promotion to Assistant Principal! We will all miss him greatly, but we know he will bring his fantastic energy, smarts, joy, and so much more to the STEM school next year. We are grateful for all he taught us, for his passion for the arts, for his sense of humor, and for how much he cares about everyone. His leadership of the Green Team, direction of the Men’s Ensemble, mentorship to many students, and pronunciation of the names of 5 classes of Seniors at graduation are just a few of the things we will miss. Most of all, we will miss seeing that beautiful smile every day.

Mr. Hale is a CCA star and we know he will do amazing things in this next stage of his career!
