PART II-A. LOUIS ARMSTRONG HIGH SCHOOL

FOR THE ARTS

§1970.1. Legislative intent

It is the intent of the legislature to establish a college-based residential school for certain high school students with the express purpose of providing a more challenging educational experience and a more enriched creative environment for the children of this state who have a demonstrated talent for and interest in pursuing the creative and performing arts and of developing such children to their full potential. This school will serve only as a magnet school for the arts, and not as a magnet school for mathematics nor the sciences. There shall be no duplication of programs already offered by the Louisiana School for Math, Science and the Arts in Natchitoches. Beyond a demonstration of minimum competencies expected of all equivalent high school students in Louisiana, admission criteria at the Louis Armstrong High School for the Arts shall not be based upon competitive academic testing, but exclusively upon auditions or submission of creative writing and art.
