High school students identify an area of art for intensive study throughout the course of their HS careers.  In doing so, students gain proficiency in a particular discipline, develop and mature as artists, and potentially identify and begin an engagement with a lifelong interest that will add depth and dimension to their lives. Students may select a concentration from one of the following areas: Performance Arts, Visual Arts, Technology Arts, and Communication Arts. In addition, students may petition high school administrators to create interdisciplinary arts concentrations.
