Ep 77: Brett DePew, Principal, Sorenson Magnet School of the Arts and Humanities

A great conversation with Brett DePew, the principal of Sorenson Magnet School of the Arts and Humanities that recently won the 2022 Governors Arts Award for Innovation in the Arts.

Sorensen Magnet School, a little school with BIG IDEAS! A place where students learn core knowledge through the fabric of the arts and humanities. Located in the heart of downtown Coeur d'Alene, this newly remodeled school building is a reminder of the hard work demonstrated by members of the community who joined forces in a campaign to save Sorensen, turn it into a school of choice, make it one of two "Arts and Humanities" schools in the state of Idaho, and as a result, this little school with "big ideas" has impacted countless numbers of students and will continue to do so for generations to come.

With the upcoming levy election on March 14, we talk to Brett about the importance of the arts in our community, and how important it is to vote in favor of the supplemental levies.
