Berry Performing Arts Center
On October15, 2017, more than 300 guests gathered in the front courtyard to witness the ribbon cutting of the Berry Performing Arts Center.  Wardlaw+Hartridge students and alumni showcased their talents to open the Berry Performing Arts Center in a grand style with a Premiere Performance that included inspiring pieces of musical talents. The Performing Arts Center is a major pillar of the campus allowing us to demonstrate our commitment to the arts on an equal plane with academics and athletics. Performing Arts Department Chair, Sharon Byrne says, "Having a modern facility at your disposal, the sky's the limit with what we are able to do with our students."
