Art
Our school's art program consists of dance. Towards the end of each semester, students perform in a school concert, with each performance presented by grade. Our dance program is a four-year program that focuses on ballet, contemporary, and modern dance. Students study and analyze different time periods of dance, as well as dance of different cultures, in order to understand the essence of dance and how storytelling is done through this artistic medium. We are part of the National Honor Society for Dance Arts. Furthermore, the dance program has a literacy component where students write daily reflections and conduct research.
