Welcome to the Office of Related Arts
We believe that the arts allow us to celebrate and preserve our cultural heritages while exploring the realms of expression, imagination, and creativity, leading to new knowledge. Therefore, every individual should have the opportunity to learn about, create, and appreciate the visual and performing arts.
The Visual and Performing Arts Department coordinates the dance, music, theatre, and visual arts programs, as well as K-12 artistic programs.
The department is responsible for developing, supporting, and implementing Visual and Performing Arts curricula that align with state and national standards. Through ongoing curriculum development, professional development, strategic planning, program implementation, program assessment, facilities management, and research and development of learning opportunities, the department strives to ensure all students can study and create art. These goals are regularly assessed and evolve to meet our students' arts education needs.
