Fine Arts Seal Requirements

A Fine Arts diploma seal is a recognition for high school students who have demonstrated proficiency in and dedication to the Arts.  Requirements vary by state and district, but they typically include coursework, extracurricular activities, community service, and a capstone project.

When a student chooses to complete the steps to earn their Fine Arts seal, they are showcasing their creativity and talent.  Additionally, earning the seal shows potential higher-learning institutions that the student is proficient enough in their Fine Arts knowledge base to successfully enter a rigorous program of study for their chosen field, and could potentially choose a career path in that field.

Specific programs of study for earning the Fine Arts seal at Burke County High School include Visual Arts, Music (Band or Chorus), and Theatre.  Please see requirements below.
