Arts Programs
Certificate Program
Our certificate program in the visual and performing arts guides students through a comprehensive, four-year course of study that feeds students’ passions and sets them up for future pursuits. Visual arts students develop a portfolio of work that can be used for college admissions and interviews, and they exhibit their work in a final gallery exhibition their senior year. The performing arts certificate program culminates with seniors planning and staging a complete theatrical performance with fellow class members.
