Casady School’s strategic focus on growth and sustainability through its People, Places, and Programs, is grounded in the mission of the School over its more than 75-year history. As we embark on this next era of our School through Strategic Planning and Master Campus Planning, we will always keep a vigilant eye on the history and development of our institution to inform our future.
Casady’s strategic enrollment growth, arts programming, and current performing arts facility underscore the need for renovation and expansion to support our People, Places, and Programs. This $9.5 million project will transform the existing building into a state-of-the-art facility, increasing practice space, enhancing acoustics, expanding community gathering areas, and improving stage technology. This renovation and expansion aims to elevate the performing arts experience to support programming and foster creativity and engagement within our community in a premier venue.

  • Redesigned modern exterior
  • New sidewalks and pedestrian flow
  • Redesigned interior with a total increase of 5,200 square feet
  • New Orchestra Room

  • The Pippin Family

    “When Phil and I attended our oldest child’s first Middle Division orchestra performance, I knew that Casady had tapped into something magical. The way the students organized themselves in their chairs, picked up their instruments, and with only the slightest of cues began to produce amazing music, highlighted how musical instruction can teach discipline, cooperation, and encourage creativity all at the same time. During the journey of our three sons through the Casady Orchestra program, it became apparent that the musical arts program is Casady’s hidden gem."

  • The Wert Family

    “Call it karma. Call it the great circle of life. Call it ‘What goes around comes around.’ After 60 years of association with Casady, our family calls it both a privilege and a responsibility to give back to the school which prepared, supported, and enriched us all."
