LAS VEGAS -- Las Vegas high school teenagers rallied to keep their arts programs alive.

Dozens of teens came out after several performing arts classes were cancelled at Durango High School. Many were just reinstated Tuesday, but some programs remain on the chopping block.

Students said these programs encourage them to stay in school.

“We can't have any kind of culture without these programs. Students depend on these things for living and life," said student Michael Siegel.

Students said they will rally at Desert Breeze Park every month until all arts programs in Clark County are reinstated.
