About

Accolades is the online news site of Las Vegas Academy of the Arts, a public magnet school in the Clark County School District. Our historic campus is located in the Arts District of Downtown Las Vegas. Students must audition to attend and, in addition to the standard core classes, take classes in music, theater, visual arts, dance, and/or multimedia communications.

Accolades is a student-led publication, and content does not necessarily represent the views of the entire student community, the school administration, or the district. Accolades is public forum for student expression where students make all decisions of content.

Accolades may accept letters to the editor, guest columns and news releases from students, faculty, administrators, community residents and the general public. We ask that letters to the editor, guest columns or other submissions be 300 words or less and contain the author’s name, address, phone number and email address. All submissions will be verified. 

Submissions by anyone outside LVA must be submitted via email at [email protected] and include the author’s name, address, phone number and email address. All submissions will be verified.
