Hollywood Arts High School

Hollywood Arts High School is the fictional performing arts high school (Grades 9-12) in the Hollywood district in Los Angeles, California. Tori and Trina attend along with their friends and other students in Victorious. It is located next to a preschool, as seen in Jade with Tots. Like regular schools, all performers need to take English, Science and Math alongside Performing Activities. Hollywood Arts has "The Big Showcase" every year, and it was during one of the showcases that Tori joined Hollywood Arts. According to several posts on TheSlap.com, the janitor's closet nearest the gang's lockers has video and picture cameras in it, for unkown reasons.

Trivia

 * Every student is required to customize their locker. In The Bird Scene, Tori has trouble deciding on a design, until she finally decides to make a locker with the words Make It Shine (a reference to the theme song) that light up. Robbie's locker is a collage made up of the nipples from the baby bottles he once used. Andre's locker is a working keyboard, Jade's is covered in scissors, Beck's is transparent, and Sinjin's is covered in regurgitated food.
 * According Robbie's Big Toe, you aren't required to come to school on time, yet when Beck shows up late to class, Sikowitz becomes upset, so this is questionable.Namewall.png
 * In the episode Prom Wrecker, it was said that 'prome' is the first prom in Hollywood Arts, but in the first episode (Pilot), it was said that Cat didn't get a date for the prom, so this is another questionable trivia.
 * Every student that wants to get into Hollywood Arts must perform some form of natural talent in the fields of acting, play writing, singing, instrument playing, etc. (which brings up the question of how Trina came to Hollywood Arts.)Stageplayers.png
 * Like every school in the USA, Hollywood Arts has a mascot, which is not revealed yet. But the school's colors are blue, red, black, and white.
 * In the main hall, there is a wall with many names on it. According to Dan, the cast and crew of iCarly and Victorious wrote those names; they are meant to be the names of students who graduated from Hollywood Arts. The name Robin Weiner is on this wall; Robin Weiner is the supervising producer of iCarly and Victorious, and has been referenced on both shows several times.AndreHAjacket.png
 * In the main hall, there is a large turquoise banner with red lettering hanging from the ceiling which says "all the world's a stage, and all the men and women meerly players." This sign is never actually seen in the show.
 * There are various articles of clothing with the Hollywood Arts "HA" pendant. Andre is seen wearing an HA jacket often. Twice in the show other characters have used this jacket to figure out that the gang goes to Hollywood Arts. These two characters were Mrs. Lee in Wok Star and Tara in Freak the Freak Out.
 * Hollywood Arts seems to focus more on acting then it does on regular school classes, such as Latin or Math. This is typical in schools for the performing arts.
 * In A Christmas Tori, the school's interior was decorated with all kinds of Christmas decorations.
