The Visual and Performing Arts Department, through its curriculum, reflects our philosophy of developing the whole person. Our purpose is to direct each student in recognizing and developing his or her creativity through the Arts.
The courses in the Department are designed to assist students in forming an appreciation of the arts and to develop skills that are commensurate with their interests, talents, and abilities. We consider the study of the Arts to be an essential component in a student’s secondary education by continuing to develop their critical and cognitive thinking skills.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
All students are required to have one year of a Visual/Performing Arts course to satisfy the graduation requirement. Many students choose to take more!
