About
Milwaukee High School of the Arts (MHSA) offers students the chance to select an arts-focused major (creative writing, dance, theater, music, or visual art) and receive at least two class hours of instruction per day focused on that major. Students commit to one area of the arts for all four of their years. In addition to its focus on the arts, MHSA also provides an academically challenging educational program that includes AP courses. Students may select from over 15 AP courses for both high school and college credit.
This is a high school with entrance requirements and entry is granted through the early admissions process, which includes an audition.
Contact the school or visit our
high school early admissions page for more information about that process.
