Our Vision

Snipes Academy of Arts & Design is the preferred educational institution in New Hanover County providing a
complete integration of the arts in all educational areas. Our school is a safe
and positive place to learn and work. We thrive academically, socially, and
artistically and are successful 21st century learners. As a true magnet
school, we have a diverse population with a large cross-section of cultures.

The mission of New Hanover County Schools, in collaboration with our parents and the community, is to strive to provide children an excellent education in a safe and positive learning environment where they are prepared with the critical skills to reach their full potential for a world yet to be imagined.

 

2016-2017 Snipes Academy Improvement Plan

"Somebody has to go polish the stars,
They're looking a little bit dull.
Somebody has to go polish the stars,
For the eagles and starlings and gulls
Have all been complaining they're tarnished and worn,
They say they want new ones we cannot afford.
So please get your rags
And your polishing jars,
Somebody has to go polish the stars."

~Shel Silverstein, A Light in the Attic~
