Hamilton High School's  Annual Gala is coming up!!

 The Gala is an evening celebrating all the accomplishments of AMPA (Hamilton's Academy of Music and Performing Arts)!  It is also our biggest Friends of AMPA fundraiser and community event.  Teachers, students, families, alumni, and the community are all invited to dinner serenaded by our musicians and then a performance showcasing all of our talented students across all 14 majors!  

Friends of AMPA is a 501(c)3 booster that supports ALL performances throughout the school year with both donations and volunteers. With over 30+ shows per year and 14 majors, we wouldn't be able to achieve this high level without the support of our community members. Your donation funds productions, transportation to performances & competitions, enrollment fees for District and National Arts Awards and Festivals, new equipment, instruments, and general upkeep.  It takes more than just money!  

 Our Gala evening culminates with the five finalists for Performer of the Year!  After the finalists perform, the winner will be announced and receive a scholarship.  A key component of the Gala is to raise funds for our performer of the year scholarships, teacher appreciation, and supporting all of the AMPA majors and performances.  To make this an even bigger fundraiser, there will be a silent auction, but we can't do it without your help!  Thank you for helping over 800 students with your donation.
