WHAT'S HAPPENING IN CLASS?

Fine Arts


High school Painting 1 Artists are expressing their creativity though abstract watercolor drip and zentangle paintings. The future of art is bright, with these talented students and Mrs. Reilly at the helm.

Commercial Art


In Mrs. Oakes's Commercial Art class, students are learning how to use Photoshop and practicing techniques and styles that they will use when they build the our 2023-2024 Titan Yearbook. Digital art can be a powerful way for students to express themselves creatively. It can also help them develop their problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication skills.

Orchestra


The future of classical music is in good hands with Mr. Hoffman's orchestra class. Making music is a journey, and these students are just getting started. We can't wait to hear their progress in a few more months of practicing and playing the strings.
