Drama Productions 
Most high schools' drama productions are some of a school's biggest events, and that majority includes Hampton High. These drama teams made of students work really hard all for a long time, and in parts of the year, they practice almost every day. It isn't just the on-stage performers that do a lot of work, but also these students that work behind the scenes. These drama productions showcase a lot of artistic ability from the students, and on show time, they get great feedback from their hard work and skills.
