DSA Detroit School Of Arts High School 3.96

Detroit School of Arts High School, commonly referred to as DSA. Originally entitled “The Detroit High School for the Fine and Performing Arts”, Detroit School of Arts (DSA) was envisioned as a smaller citywide public high school with emphasis on a strong college preparatory academic and arts curriculum. Founded in 1992 by Dr. Denise Davis-Cotton, it offers a pre-professional study in Vocal Music, Instrumental Music, Music Technology, Dance, Theater, Speech, Radio/Television production, Visual Arts and Visual Communications.

Detroit School of and Arts (DSA) has been referred to as “FAME, with an APTITUDE.” A description of this statement is clearly summed up in one sentence: The students are gifted, talented, articulate, intelligent, loving and energetic. Because the students enroll from the entire state and city at-large, they come from various socio-economic and family educational backgrounds. DSA recognizes the importance of creating a learning culture that includes participants from all areas of society. Students are taught to view the world in a way which will support and influence one another in positive ways.
