“The construction of the Arts Wing will continue to allow us to educate the whole child, and the building truly reflects the excellence of our programs, students, teachers and alumni.” Lourdes Lambert, Principal

The $4.3 million building is an extension of the school at 940 E. David Road in Kettering. The building is 100% pledged, but the school is still accepting funding for the furnishings, fixtures, and equipment.

The new Arts Wing will be named the Christine Connor and Fred J. Miller Conservatory of the Arts. Mrs. Connor is the wife of Alter Hall of Fame Inductee and Alum Larry Connor ‘68. She has a life long appreciation of the arts and is a dedicated supporter of youth education in the Dayton area. Mr. Miller was a champion for the arts. He was a Band Director for both Fairborn and Alter High Schools, he created the Miller’s Blackhawks Twirling and Musical Corps, and he founded the local company FJM Inc., which manufactures and sells marching band uniforms.
