Arts Magnet is by far the greatest school I could ever imagine. I wake up every single morning excited to go to school and ready to grow as an artist. The school defies common high school cliques, and although it is very rigorous and challenging; I am proud to be a student at BTWHSPVA. Everything arts related is by far the best of the best in Dallas if not the country.

Booker T. Washington embraces the child who might not fit in so readily at other schools - it's also not so sports focused. The majority of the student population are extremely talented and hard-working.

The environment encourages the kids to me more independent, therefore, more responsible for themselves in all aspects of their lives. The opportunity for a deeper study in the Arts is unsurpassed.

My daughter is happy to go to school every day. I promise that this would not be the case if she were to attend another school.

Booker T. is making it possible for my child to be introduced and receive preliminary exposure and training in the field of acting while receiving her high school education
