Fine Arts
The school puts on two major theatrical productions per year: a fall drama and a spring musical produced by the drama department directed by Marcus Riter. The shows are produced on the stage within the gymnasium. There are also 2 major productions done per year by the chorus and honors chorus directed by Dottie Tippet. The final production usually has a set of songs done by the graduating seniors of both classes.
The Marching, Concert, and Symphonic Bands are led by Ryan W. Tinker. The bands have won and placed in many competitions over the past several years, including first place in their division in the 2009 Providence Cup marching band competition under the direction of Mr. Ken Rudd.

Famous quotes containing the words fine and/or arts:
“I can’t make head or tail of Life. Love is a fine thing, Art is a fine thing, Nature is a fine thing; but the average human mind and spirit are confusing beyond measure. Sometimes I think that all our learning is the little learning of the maxim. To laugh at a Roman awe-stricken in a sacred grove is to laugh at something today.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Note too that a faithful study of the liberal arts humanizes character and permits it not to be cruel.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
