Arts at McCallie are not an added frill. They are an integral part of the academic curriculum, valued by the community, and vital for a boy’s balanced development and growth.

In early November, a cast and crew of about 18 students, directed by Drama Program Head Stevie Ray Dallimore, brought to life in the Black Box Theater an original work titled The Dumas Project.
