Flagstaff Arts and Leadership Academy (FALA) is celebrating its 25th anniversary this weekend with several events, including alumni and student performances.
The public charter school first opened for high school students in August 1996. Charter schools came to Arizona in 1995, according to FALA’s website. FALA’s founder, Karen Butterfield, was an art educator at Coconino High School at the time and had previously been Flagstaff Unified School District's art coordinator.
