St. Christopher to Create Fine Arts Center

St. Christopher School and Parish in Nashua recently announced plans to expand its campus with the addition of a 2,000 square foot Fine Arts Center. Located in a former convent building which will be completely renovated for this purpose, the Center will house a large art classroom, an equally large music room, two handicapped accessible bathrooms, interactive whiteboards, and extra storage. Anticipated completion of the Fine Arts Center is for the beginning of the school year in September 2019.

The Center will further enhance the school’s robust student programming in art, music, and drama. Students currently can choose to participate in beginner and advanced band and fiddle squads, chorus, drama club, drama stage crew, and 3D design club. In the Fine Arts Center, new classrooms will be used for these activities, as well as art and music instruction, community art and music classes, parish and school meetings, and more.

The Fine Arts Center is the result of a campus use feasibility study conducted several years ago which recommended repurposing current facilities to meet the school and parish’s needs. In reviewing and approving the Fine Arts Center, Bishop Peter Libasci demonstrated his support of St. Christopher School and its future as a Catholic school of choice in the greater Nashua area.

Renovation of the building will begin within the next month and will take approximately 3-5 months. Costs are being covered by St. Christopher School and private donors. Additional financial support is always welcome. Information is available from principal Cindy Clarke at 603-882-7442, ext. 112.
