Charter High School of the Arts – Multimedia and Performing, or CHAMPS,
located in Sherman Oaks, California, has chosen the teen superhero from the
award-winning animated short film Zoom Suit to be their official school
mascot. CHAMPS’ curriculum places a strong emphasis on academics and every
student is required to maintain a high level of competence in all subjects
required for entrance to a state university.
“It was the hard work and success of the people involved in Zoom
Suit
‘s creation that led to us selecting the character as our mascot,” said
Dr. Norman Isaacs. “The principals of hard work leading to success are the
principals we work to instill every day in all of our students. We want our
mascot to be a reflection of this and to be an instant reminder to those who
already attend the school or who may consider it in the future.”
CHAMPS is a nonsectarian school which opened in Sherman Oaks, California in
September of 2005. To date the school has 120 students enrolled in 9th grade,
with room for 250. The student body comes from a wide area that includes many
parts of the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles County. Each school year an
additional 250 students for each grade level will be added until the goal of
approximately 1,000 students in grades 9-12 is reached. This is a public charter
school that does not charge any tuition.
With an average student to teacher ratio of 20 to 1, every student is
taught in the most optimum conditions to be able to excel in all subjects,
including those that may have challenged them in the past. What makes CHAMPS so
unique is the arts specialties and electives. These offerings are designed to
enhance the educational experience of every student, and advance the skills of
those training in a specific artform. These students train up to 20 hours per
week perfecting their skills, in addition to their rigorous academics.
“This is easily the greatest honor Zoom Suit has achieved,” said
Zoom Suit writer and director, John Taddeo. “We’re all very excited about
the fun that we’ll have working with CHAMPS and we hope that our creation will
help inspire future generations to follow their dreams.”
