Wantagh Senior High School

Wantagh Senior High School and community join together to meet students educational needs as well as providing the skills needed to meet the continuing challenge of life-long learning and responsible citizenship in a rapidly changing society. Students enjoy creative writing that provides them with an opportunity to explore a variety of writing genres. Students study and learn through lectures and workshops how to write short stories, poetry, lyrics, a personal essay, a screenplay query, and a movie scene.

Drama Classes are an intensive workshop class which studies acting techniques. The class focuses on performance while developing the critical appreciation for theatre, film and other media arts necessary to participation in modern society. By the end of this class, students will be able to perform basic acting/directing warm-ups and exercises; prepare, analyze and perform a monologue or scene; participate in the production of the Tour Play; audition for Wantagh activities, Advanced Drama, and colleges as well as generate critical and informed opinions and writings as both an audience
member and as a performer.
