Arts

The Fine Arts Department  provides numerous award-winning programs where students can hone their creative skills and cultivate a sense of meaning through design, collaboration, and performance.

As an integral part of the Middle School curriculum, students choose a Music ensemble to join in their 6th grade year - Choral, Band, Strings, or Guitar - and continue through 7th and 8th grades. In addition to this Music class, Middle School students will rotate through the following classes:

6th Grade: Computers, PE, Theatre & Visual Art (quarterly rotation)
7th & 8th Grade: These combined grade levels will have 2 semester-long classes, selected from options that will include - Speech, Dance, Theater Arts, Visual Art, Health and Nutrition, Broadway Bound, Computer Science, Engineering, and Woodworking.

Additionally, there are several opportunities for Middle School involvement in Fine Arts programs based on student interest (MS Art Lab, Encore, etc.)

High School students have a variety of Fine Arts classes available to choose from for their Fine Arts credit. Additionally, there are several opportunities to be involved in the after-school Fine Arts programs.
