The Performing Arts, Visual Arts, and Music Departments offer a wide array of beginning to advanced courses, and all students practice the arts in these core programs. Studio Art and Photography courses guide students to apply design principles to the emotional content of their work. Dance and choreography courses increase self-awareness, musicality, coordination, spatial awareness, and cultural understanding. Multiple choirs and instrumental ensembles, a liturgical dance troupe, annual dramatic and musical productions, and formal recitals extend our experiential learning. Many of our artists, dancers, and musicians participate and excel in regional and national competitions and festivals.
