Many people find it completely nerve-racking to get up on stage in front of hundreds of people, while others may find it the most thrilling experience out there. For those who enjoy it, the Music, Media, Entertainment and Technology (MMET) program at the Huntington Beach Academy of Performing Arts (APA) could be the perfect fit. MMET students can take many different pathways, with the option to major in vocal performance, guitar, bass, keys, drums and more.

Huntington Beach High School’s (HBHS) marching band and colorguard team performed its 2025 California State Band Championships (CSBC) show at the So Cal Division Championships 4A on Nov. 22, 2025, at HBHS’s ‘Cap’ Sheue Field, earning 18th place. The show was an eight-minute long, 1950s-style murder mystery—a culmination of months of hard work. What appeared as a tight, polished routine on the field was the result of many late-night rehearsals and the story of the students who made it possible.

The Huntington Beach Academy of Performing Arts (APA) is back at it with their annual concert, “Playlist,” featuring songs selected by students, as well as some original pieces. APA’s Music, Media and Entertainment Technology (MMET) program organizes the show to showcase students’ musical and technical talents. With the help of the American Sign Language (ASL) department at Huntington Beach High School (HBHS), MMET put on a night to remember.

While runners and jumpers claim the track and field spotlight, a handful of athletes on the Huntington Beach High School (HBHS) team are mastering another sport that relies on power, precision and patience. Despite their dedication and hard work, many of the HBHS track throwers feel the sport does not get the recognition it deserves.

The Young Women’s Leadership Club at Huntington Beach High School (HBHS) aims to embody these leadership qualities in young female students.
