CARTHAGE, Mo. — What an incredible celebration as we officially recognized the naming partners for the future Carthage Performing Arts Center!
The event was a powerful reminder that this project is about so much more than bricks and mortar. Thanks to the support of our community and the passage of the 2025 bond issue, this new facility will create opportunities for students to perform, collaborate, grow, and discover their passions for generations to come.
Dr. Luke Boyer shared that this space will not only support student learning and creativity, but also serve as a gathering place where families and community members can come together to celebrate the arts.
We are incredibly grateful to the individuals, families, organizations, and foundations who chose to leave their mark through naming opportunities:
- The Zeiter Family Drama Suite
- Ida Ruth Locarni Vocal Music Suite, sponsored by the Boylan Foundation
- “The Marguerite” Instrumental Music Suite, sponsored by Joe Lyon and Mariann Morgan
- John O. and Carolyn B. Phelps Auditorium Lobby, sponsored by the Phelps and Holman families
Carthage Performing Arts Center naming rights, sponsored by the K.D. & M.L. Steadley Trust
To our naming partners, thank you for investing in the future of our students and helping create a lasting legacy within this incredible new space.
Thanks to the support of our Carthage community, the curtain is rising on a space that will serve generations of Tigers. Together, we’re not just building a structure. We are leaving a legacy and building a future
