My mother has worked for Broken Arrow Public Schools for more years than I have been alive, both teaching and administration. For several years, she worked in the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center. The building is beautiful, sleek, and modern, and the offices are fairly spacious. Offices on the outer ring of the building had wall-to-wall windows, and I enjoyed watching the sunset from them after school while Mom finished her work for the day. The better-known room of the building, though, is the auditorium. Its size allows for a huge number of people, and there are wood panels along the walls that are both pleasing to the eye and function to direct sound and reduce echo. The ceiling functions in roughly the same manner, allowing for a more enjoyable experience. My family and I watched many high school plays there, as well as several professional performances.
