DASH provides us with a supportive and welcoming environment that beams with creative energy, unlike any other. Its given me so many opportunities, like a 3 week all expense paid trip to NYC for a pre college program, and the chance to bond with people who are passionate about the same artistic field. I've had a wonderful experience at DASH, but I do feel the need to caution that it is definitely a huge commitment. DASH requires long hours of work, a genuine passion for art, and an understanding that you may sacrifice your academics for art (ex. no advanced math classes are taught after AP Calculus AB, physics and AP Environmental Science are not offered and have to be taken online). The school prepares you to pursue art in college, but I'm not sure if it prepares you well enough for an academic college career, hence the sacrifice. Despite this, there is no other school I would rather go to!
This is a hell of a high school. This school annually ranks as one of the best, if not best Florida high schools. In addition, it ranks annually as a top 50 high school in the nation. This school offers students the chance to study architecture, industrial design, fashion design, film, and graphic design for 3 years! These programs of study are incredible. The faculty truly care about their students. In addition, colleges often reach out to recruit DASH students to attend their school.
Design and Architecture Senior High has been my home for four years, it has improved my art and communication skills. Our large workload allows the students to develop a good sense of time management, preparing us for college and the real world. The facility works there best to provide an open and comfortable environment where everyone feels accepted. The classes specific to what students want to study allows them to dive in and decide if that job in that field is what they want to pursue. Students constantly present their art and strand work to teachers, internship providers, and college representatives developing interpersonal skills. If I could fix something about the school it would be the overall building itself, I'd fix the ceilings so that water ceases to pour from the missing tiles. I'd also change the overall environment so that students are not faced with such extreme pressure and stress.
