Our Drama Department has won numerous “Superiors” and “Critic’s
Choice” awards at Regional and State thespian festivals and
mounts several plays per year in our Loading Dock Theater.
G-Star students also participate in a resident professional
theater company's plays. The theater company is called Rude
Mechanic's Productions and is owned and operated by three G-Star
drama teachers.
G-STAR also has its own recording studio on campus where musical
groups and individuals are recorded with state-of-the-art
equipment. The students engineer and operate the studios for the
performers. In addition, G-Star has a full photographic studio
where students receive head shots, model composites, and
portfolio work for no charge to help enhance their careers in
film, television and acting.
The G-Star School of the Arts is one of the most financially
successful high schools in the nation. In 2003 G-Star began its
operations with zero dollars in its savings account and $65,000
per month in operational funding. Today the school has over
$11,000,000 in assets and liquid cash. The school has $1,200,000
in its savings accounts, $1,300,000 in its monthly operational
account, and approximately
$9,000,000 in real estate assets. In addition, the school has
gone through the most rigorous financial scrutiny earning a
$4,995,000 Bond issue backed by the Board of Commissioners of
Palm Beach County. Within that time, the school experienced
explosive growth from 156 students to over 760 students, bought
its own property containing 93,000 sq. ft. under roof in ten
buildings on property that is almost a mile long. Students
attend the school from Jupiter to Boca Raton to Loxahatchee on
transportation provided by the school. Many families have
relocated from out of state and even from out of country just so
their children can attend G-Star. The school has performed
excellently through five state-required audits by an outside
auditor recommended by the School District of Palm Beach County
that have found every dollar has been used for appropriate
educational purposes. G-STAR has proven to be one of the safest
schools in the State, backed by one of the strictest drug and
bullying policies in the country.
