Support Excellence in Arts Education: Donate to LMC
The LMC department at Duke Ellington offers the highest-quality instruction for DC’s young writers and filmmakers, available only at one of the nation’s leading public high schools for the arts. We teach our students to think critically, tell stories with honesty, and bring clarity to the issues that face today’s society.
Your support is critical to these efforts. Funding for public schools and the arts is constantly under attack as test scores take precedence over creativity and knowledge. Yet research clearly shows that academically at-risk students who are artistically talented make greater educational gains in an arts-integrated curriculum than their peers who do not have the same classroom experience. With a 98% on-time graduation rate, we know at Duke Ellington that an arts curriculum does make a difference.
