Central Cass Friends of Fine Arts (FOFA) plays a pivotal role in nurturing the creative talents of young artists. This vibrant organization is committed to enhancing the artistic journeys of students involved in band, choir, theater, speech, and visual arts. With a dynamic board of nine members, FOFA actively meets the additional needs of these diverse arts programs, ensuring that students have the resources they need to thrive.

Transformative Contributions

Thanks to the generous support of FOFA members, the 2023-24 academic year has seen significant enhancements to the arts programs. These contributions have facilitated the acquisition of a theater storage system, visual art display walls, display pedestals, theater makeup, props and costumes, paint, and advertising materials.

In addition, FOFA has provided snacks for students during their travels, funded six full and partial scholarships to the prestigious International Music Camp, and developed marketing materials that underscore their commitment to progress and innovation in the arts.
