To ensure that all students develop an appreciation and understanding of the fine arts, one year (10 credits) of study in this department is required for graduation. Many students, however, are involved with the different offerings for all four years of high school. The Fine Arts program is divided into four sections: Visual Arts, Choral Music, Instrumental Music and Performing Arts. The department reflects the diversity of art as a form of entertainment and aesthetic appreciation. Classes are offered to attract the eye (visual arts), the ear (music, both instrumental and vocal), the body (movement and dance), and the mind (dramatic arts). It is our goal to integrate the arts on the campus and to promote involvement in the arts off-campus, in the community.

Visual Arts courses include: Art 1, 2-Dimensional Art, Advanced 2 D Art, AP Studio Art, Ceramics I, Ceramics II, Video Production 1, Video Production 2 and Graphic Design.

Choral Music courses include: Mixed Chorus A/B, Concert Choir A/B, Women's Chamber A/B and Show Choir A/B.

Instrumental Music courses include: Marching Band, Jazz Band, Symphonic Band and Wind Emsemble, Percussion Ensemble/Drum Line, Flags/Banners (Color Guard) and Guitar.

Performing Arts courses include: Theatre Arts I, Theatre Arts II (Children's Theatre), Theatre Arts III (Drama Production) and Stagecraft.

Students will explore uses of technology in work-related situations and learn specific skills that can be used to go to work after high school, enter a trade school, or a technical program at a community college or university.  One semester (5 credits) of study in this department is required for graduation.
