The Visual and Performing Arts Department newsletter is produced on a monthly/seasonal basis. Click on the different pages on this site to see our student artist at work throughout the school year. The curriculum is designed to inspire greater levels of academic achievement by linking student interest and abilities in the arts to all aspects of their education experience. By teaching students to think like artists, teachers lead students to improve their overall skills in planning, problem solving, reasoning, creativity, and self-awareness.

Students work collaboratively within an environment where the arts are the vehicle for creative and analytical thinking. Our students develop into members of society with the skills to write and think with their minds, create with their hands, express with their bodies, act and speak from their hearts, and inspire others to do the same.

The following videos were shown during the 135th Perth Amboy High School Class of 2020 Virtual Commencement Ceremony. These are visual representations of how the arts communicate thoughts, feelings, and emotions; they connect us as human beings and provide us with the opportunity to share our stories.
