Worcester County Public Schools believes that education in the arts is an integral part of the development of each human being. Fine and Performing Arts education refers to education in the disciplines of music, dance, theatre, and visual arts. Study in the arts is integral to our society. They are a part of the cultural heritage of every American. The arts are what make us most human, most complete as people. The arts cannot be learned through occasional or random exposure any more than math or science can.

Sufficient data exists to overwhelmingly support the belief that study and participation in the fine and performing arts is a key component in improving learning throughout all academic areas. Evidence of its effectiveness in reducing student dropouts, raising student attendance, developing better team players, fostering a love for learning, improving greater student dignity and empathy, enhancing student creativity, and producing a more prepared citizen for the workplace for tomorrow can be found documented in studies held in many varied settings, from school campuses, to corporate America.

We value our arts teachers, classes and content at our school and hope you enjoy some of these great photos of our students creating!
