Our art program was designed and presented to chal-lenge, but not exceed the abilities of the students. In the beginning years of art, the student is exposed to a pano-rama of materials and exercises designed to act asa foundation for further involvement in the art field. The
more advanced students work primarily on an independent study basis exploring more in depth such areas as painting, crafts, ceramics, weaving, printing and many more exciting adventures into the world of art expression.

Music Makers
Music lends colour to man’s ability to communicate. The Music Department was devoted to teaching creativity, skill, and expression ... and the intangible but necessary responsibilities of teamwork. From the combined band, chorus and orchestra to the soloist; the music department sought to fill the gap between the hearts of men and the eagerly listening world.
Social Studies
Prepare Students
For Society
Social Studies is taught in order to ensure that stu-dents will become participating and know-ledgeable citizens in our society. Each of the courses, U.S. History, Geography, World History, and Government, is taught using a variety of methods. Several electives, such as Black History, Sociology, Humanities, and Economics, are also available. Many films are available for teachers’ use, as are a number of sound filmstrips and professionally created transparencies. The teachers of this department pride themselves on the resources they create, also. The more traditional methods of lecture and discussion are also used.
