New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts gets OK to pursue offering full-day program

The New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts, the celebrated public school that tutored Harry Connick Jr. and Wynton Marsalis in music while they studied algebra and English elsewhere, is asking the state's permission to become a full-fledged high school offering a full range of general courses leading to a diploma.

The state's House Education Committee on Wednesday signed off on the first step in the process, unanimously approving legislation enabling the change. NOCCA is managed directly by the state without an intervening Orleans Parish bureaucracy.
