Starting with an elementary school-level music and art program, the district offers a wide selection of classes for appreciation of the fine arts. At fifth grade, basic art classes help the student realize his or her creative skills. Beginning in the sixth grade, band instruction is introduced, with marching band offered by the ninth grade. Grades five and up may choose choir as an elective. Beginning in seventh grade, students may be involved in speech, drama, debate and theater arts. Along this line are advanced high school courses such as theater production, public speaking and competition-level speech and debate-with opportunities for district and state recognition.
