The Freehold Regional High School District Fine and Performing Arts Academy at Howell High School has provided conservatory-type training since 1984 to young artists who want to combine a college preparatory academic schedule with advanced arts training in a traditional high school setting. The Academy offers a four-year program in three distinct majors: Acting, Dance, and Entertainment Technology, which includes a music production and a video production track. Students train and work in an acting studio, two dance studios, a video studio and a music production and recording studio. Students produce and perform in a number of showcases and are encouraged to participate in the numerous arts and other extracurricular programs offered at Howell High School.
