WHAT IS PAMA?
PAMA - Performing Arts and Multimedia Academy.
PAMA is Corona Del Mar High School’s very own Performing Arts and Multimedia Academy. PAMA is broken down into five different pathways including Theatre, Visual Arts, Vocal Music, Instrumental Music, and Dance. PAMA is an “honors society” within the advanced coursework of each of these pathways. The goal is to recognize and honor high achieving students in the arts and give them the tools to further develop their craft and pursue it in their future studies and careers. Students enrolled in these advanced courses are encouraged to pursue the pathway requirements to receive PAMA recognition upon graduation. Many of these requirements will be incorporated into the coursework; however, additional work will be required to complete the pathway requirements and receive this highly esteemed certificate of achievement.
What do students do in PAMA?
PAMA students participate in field trips, workshops, and community building activities. They display their art in galleries, perform at a variety of functions, and build their portfolios in the process.
Interested students should see Mrs. Beckman in Room 332 and connect with their specific pathway advisor. PAMA students are expected to take at least three years of CDMHS art courses in their pathway specific pathway. These classes not only challenge the students academically, but creatively and artistically as well. Come graduation, each PAMA student is awarded a PAMA medallion to identify and commemorate their talents and hard work.
