History
High School for Recording Arts was officially founded in July 1998 with its approval as an independent public charter school district by the Minnesota Department of Education. In 2001, HSRA was approved for a three-year renewal of its charter by the St. Paul School District, HSRA’s sponsor. The charter was renewed again in 2004 and 2008. In the summer of 2008, High School for Recording Arts, with the support of the Minnesota Commissioner of Education, amicably moved authorization of its charter to Pillsbury United Communities (PUC). HSRA has been continuously renewed to date. Today student enrollment has grown and stabilized at approximately 350 students.
