Leavitt Area High School will host its ninth annual Arts Gala Thursday, March 19, when artwork created by students will be displayed throughout the hallways, and students will give visual performances as well as musical and theatrical presentations.

The public is invited to the event from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Turner school.

Last week, professionals visited the school and collaborated with teachers so they could help students with their projects.
