Fine Arts

The mission of the District's Department of the Visual and Performing Arts is to provide exemplary programs in music, dance, theater and visual arts utilizing the Curriculum Framework.  The initiative encourages high school completion and entrance into academic and technical instituttions of higher learning.  To achieve this, the District will: 

  • Provide state-of-the-art equipment and facilities with continuing instrument and equipment upgrade and replacement.
  • Increase student participation in the Visual and Performing Arts and foster support for the learning environment.
  • Provide an opportunity for all the campus students to access and choose Visual and Performing Art courses.
  • Ensure that 100% of all secondary fine arts programs participate in all Fort Worth ISD and UIL sponsored events and attain at least a second division at each event with a first division being the standard.

There is no nobler calling than to instill in the life of a child a lifelong love of the arts.  As professionals, it is the vision of every fine arts educator to execute the highest standards of teaching and learning to our students.
