Message to Students

Hello HHS Friends! The Fine & Performing Arts department is here for you and we want to know how you are doing... We are so happy to share that we are rolling out a project just for YOU. Even though many places have closed their doors ART doesn’t stop.

Make art!

Spread the news!

Share Hope!

During these uncertain times, we are so lucky to have the arts because they offer healing, hope and an outlet. We designed a safe space for you to create an expression of work that represents your experience during this time- the good, the bad, the funny and the profound. As artists, we will find a way to bring a beacon of light to guide us through uncharted territories.
