JMHS Elective Departments

JMHS Elective Departments Overview

The elective departments exemplify the focus of Deeper Learning at James Madison High School.  Deeper Learning goes beyond the surface and provides opportunities for all learners to collaborate and innovate to find meaning and make connections in real-world, relevant, and authentic experiences that unlock our individual passions and collective joy. 

The elective departments at JMHS are the Career & Technical Education (CTE), Fine Arts, and Performing Arts departments.

CTE, Fine Arts, & Performing Arts courses provide students with opportunities to explore interests, passions, and potential career pathways.  Students in these elective courses engage in unique learning experiences such as field trips, guest speakers, performances, and other hands-on demonstrations of learning.

The elective departments truly embrace the James Madison High School mission statement: to develop creative and resilient global citizens.
