What the CHS Fine Arts Programs Are:
The CHS Fine Arts (“CHS Fine Arts”) site serves as a hub for the visual and performing arts programs at Chestatee High, listing the major areas (Art, Band, Chorus, Theater) along with the faculty or leadership names.
The program is designed to provide students with opportunities to explore, develop, and excel in multiple artistic disciplines, both inside the classroom and through performance, exhibition, and community engagement.
In broad strokes, the CHS Fine Arts Program:
* Offers instruction in Visual Arts, Band (Instrumental Music), Chorus (Vocal Music), and Theater / Drama.
* Provides structured pathways for students who wish to delve deeper into a specific fine arts discipline, culminating in the opportunity to earn the Fine Arts Diploma Seal.
* Encourages participation in extracurricular/performing arts experiences(concerts, musicals, exhibitions, service) to supplement classroom work.
* Emphasizes a capstone project (in senior year) for students pursuing the diploma seal, allowing them to reflect and showcase their growth in their art form.
So, the CHS Fine Arts Program is more than just “arts classes” — it is a holistic approach combining academic coursework, performance, public presentation, and community engagement, with recognition (via the diploma seal) for students who fully commit to the pathway.
