Art
Clara Barton High School's Arts programs include courses in visual arts, drawing, ceramics, music, and photography. All Clara Barton students are required to take one term of music or visual arts. Students are then encouraged to take one of our elective Arts classes. This year we were able to offer a photography class based on a grant received and cameras provided to our students. We offer an intro to music class, intro to art class, ceramics, photography, drawing and studio art. We also offer a ceramics club and afterschool art opportunities. Looking forward to the 2024- 2025 school year we are planning Art walks, a music concert and Opening Act theater show. Many students were entered into competitions, contests and exhibitions. Many of the students had their work displayed for public viewing at events. Some of our students are involved in Opening Act, a theater company that teaches students interested in acting and show production. Each year Opening Act creates a play and preforms the show at our school. Students are given an opportunity to participate in an on Broadway show from Opening Act. Opening Act has been with us for 20 years now and going strong. We are constantly looking for expansion of the Arts at Clara Barton High School are excited for the next school year with many new Arts related activities, and opportunities.
