The Performing Arts Academy at Comeaux High is a Magnet Academy that serves high school students in Lafayette Parish.
Our Mission is to teach and lead a community of students that speak their passion through performance.
The PAA provides instruction in the disciplines of choir, dance, guitar, instrumental music/band, piano, string orchestra, and theater from instructors with extensive educational credentials and performance experience. With an emphasis on performance, many groups and individuals compete in events on a national, state, and local level.
In addition to course offerings in performance, we offer Music Theory AP and Music Media/ Intro to Computer Music (a dual enrollment course with LSU).
