Arts 

Students need to take Art 1 before any other art classes

Ceramics 1 and Digital Art 1 are for second-year+ students, as they need to have at least one visual art class at WHS as a prerequisite before enrolling

Students will be expected to build a digital portfolio of artwork created in each class

Studio Etiquette is essential 

• Working cooperatively/respectfully/stewardship

We recommend that all students start in Beginning Theatre, even if you've had a lot of theatre experience during your K-8 years--A large component of Beginning Theatre is learning the culture of expectations in the WHS Theatre department (You can take Beginning Theatre at any grade level)

Theatre is a performance-based class--Students learn by doing every day and every class has a required public performance at the end of each semester

Tech Theatre classes are expected to staff Ross Auditorium rentals (and can get paid to do so)

Theatre is an ensemble-based class --You are expected to work with and for your ensemble members every day

Theatre classes can earn you a Performing Arts Honors Cord at graduation

Check whether your class is A/B Yearlong or Semester based

Be sure to talk with your band/orchestra teacher to see what classes would be your best fit

Mixed Choir is an auditioned group, open to students of any grade level
