"I remember how the Arts Schools Network began. When we were creating LACSHA, some brilliant arts educators sent us their ideas of what young artists needed to know. Their generosity, wisdom and willingness to network helped us make our dream a reality." - Susan Stauter, Artistic Director, San Francisco Unified School District Founding Chair, Department of Theatre, Los Angeles County High School of the Arts, www.sfusd.edu

"After my first Arts Schools Network conference, I returned to the Chicago High School for the Arts (ChiArts) refreshed with shared best practices, encouragement, and inspiration. ASN is a valuable resource as ChiArts strives to create the next generation of Chicago artists." -Terri Milsap, Principal and Chief Academic Officer, The Chicago High School for the Arts, www.chiarts.org

"Most of us have had one special teacher who challenged and inspired us. ASN is the organization for these passionate, dedicated educators. I am proud to work with them in helping students transition between high school and college or career." -Dottie Marshall Englis, Chair, Conservatory of Theatre Arts, Webster University, www.webster.edu/finearts
