Freeport HS Arts
Art Department Course Offerings
DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW
The Freeport School District's Arts Department affords all students the opportunity to study music and visual arts. The vision of Freeport Public Schools is to inspire in all the desire to learn and succeed. Our schools will be safe learning communities that celebrate our achievements and encourage active partnerships with families and the entire community. We will empower students to embrace the challenges and opportunities of the future.
Our Freeport Arts programs align to the new New York State Standards for the Arts, which are designed on the following artistic processes: Creating, Presenting/Performing/Producing, Responding and Connecting. The NYS Standards for the Arts includes five disciplines, and our arts curricula proudly provides students with opportunities to experience each: Music, Visual Art, Media Art, Dance and Theater.
