Principal's Message
Welcome to our School. Nothing Ordinary, only the Best. I am excited and honored to welcome each and every on of you to the beginning of a new school year at School of performing Arts-IS217X. I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something.
