Music

The music education program's primary aim is to foster and promote to a maximum degree the music interests and aptitudes of each individual student. The program is based on the fundamental concept that musical judgment and discrimination, as well as talent, are best developed through actual contact with good music. Rich and significant opportunities and stimuli are provided for the student to progressively broaden and enhance his or her educational and cultural horizons.

For detailed course descriptions for all grade levels and subjects, the current District-wide concert and activity calendar, and complete Music Department staff assignments, please visit the Music Department's website.

Art

Our Art programs are designed to provide students with a solid, discipline-based experience that incorporates art history, creative problem solving, and exploration with a variety of mediums. Our primary goal is to allow all children the opportunity to develop their imaginations as they study, create, and respond to works of art. As students develop their knowledge of the basic elements of design and study the art of world cultures, they expand their understanding of global differences. These experiences give them a strong foundation for a better acceptance of cultural, racial and religious diversity in our lives.
