The K-12 Art Department has adapted from the New York State Education Department, a set of Standards for all students in our schools.

Look at all the prestigious Student Art Awards students have received from 1994 – 2009 in local, State and National competitions.

Starting with 2007, the Art Department is posting the Departmental Awards given to outstanding students by the staff of the Art Department. These deserving students receive recognition at the Annual June High School Awards ceremony.

The Art Departments progress toward the school district sponsored Literacy project.

We have posted our curriculum at the following locations:
