One Act Play
Sacred Heart offers students an opportunity to step into the spotlight and experience the art of theater with our One Act Play Program. One Act Play is a contest offered through TAPPS that takes place in the fall, generally at the end of October. The competition involves choosing and producing a play that is no longer than 40 minutes in length. The competition cast and crew is open to all high school students regardless of the elective they choose. However, for those that want to pursue Theater Arts beyond the TAPPS competition, One Act Play is offered as an elective at Sacred Heart. The class explores acting as well as production and directing. The class offers a Christmas Extravaganza each year that includes participation from the Montessori to fifth grade and is scripted, blocked and costumed by the students. A show is offered in the spring as well. Past productions include: The Velveteen Rabbit, Forsooth!, A Little Princess and War of the Worlds.
Visual Art
Our Sacred Heart studio art elective offers a rich tapestry of mediums and techniques for high school students to explore. Our talented high school artists continuously shine at the local and state level from the Cooke County and Fort Worth Stock Shows to TAPPS State Competitions and more.
