Summary
District officials promoted the Lakeland High School Center for Performing and Production Arts' programs and announced that 64 Suffolk Public Schools students earned places in the 2025 Virginia Music Education Association District Choir.
Officials and division staff highlighted the Lakeland High School Center for Performing and Production Arts (CPPA), describing specialized programs in music, theater and music production that allow students to remain at Lakeland while taking arts‑focused electives alongside standard academic classes.
A division social media specialist and program presenters described how CPPA and other specialty offerings provide career pathways and keep students on the Lakeland campus for both core coursework and arts elective instruction. The division encouraged families to contact the schools or visit the district website for program details and enrollment information.
The board record also congratulated district students: the clerk’s readout and later remarks celebrate 64 Suffolk Public Schools students who earned spots in the 2025 Virginia Music Education Association (VMEA) District Choir, chosen via auditions against students from neighboring jurisdictions. The record describes the selection as a district milestone and credits music program staff, volunteers and student dedication.
