Communication Arts Academy

The Communication Arts Academy (CAA) is a college preparatory school with a focus on the visual and communicative arts. Students may find a focus in Fine Arts, Graphic Arts, Film, and Journalism. Although the classes are geared toward the creative student, academics are a priority. CAA is a Partnership Academy with special funding to provide exposure to colleges and the world of work through field trips (at least 1 per semester for each grade level) and work experience.

CAA inspires students not only to value arts education but also to consider how to effectively communicate through oral, written, visual, artistic, and electronic means. The courses are designed to encourage students to enhance and develop their capacities for critical appraisal, reflection, and expression, and to expand their participation in the communication-driven social and civic life of the twenty-first century. Students are well prepared to enter an ever-changing world.

The teachers, administrators, staff, and parents of Hamilton High School believe in the dignity and worth of all students. We are committed to creating and maintaining small learning communities in order to maximize the achievement of our diverse student population.
