Tuacahn High School for the Arts was the first public charter high school in the state of Utah, United States. Tuacahn High School for the Arts is now permanently closed.[4][5] It was located in Ivins, just outside St. George. The school offers a full college preparatory curriculum while focusing in-depth on the various areas of the performing arts. Students attending the school choose a studio with which to align their studies: Performance Studio, Music Studio, Media Arts Studio, and Visual Arts Studio.

Tuacahn High School students produced numerous music and dance concerts each year as well as plays and musicals in the Orval and Ruth Hafen Theatre (380 seats). Because Tuacahn High School was directly connected to the Tuacahn Center for the Arts, students often performed its spring musical in the 2,020-seat outdoor amphitheatre.
