Department of Art and Design Sequencing within the department is usually rather clear. This typical sequence is common for most specific disciplines, but it is also important to note that many of our courses are standalone classes that can be taken at any time. Here are some examples of paths through our art program that are more complicated. These are not the only tracks through our high school art program. If interested in certain art courses, talk with an art teacher or art supervisor.
Department of Music
Sequencing within the department is audition based and students’ progress to upper level classes when they are at the appropriate ability level. In the case of Dance classes the sequencing is straightforward, with Dance I leading to Dance II. Here are some typical tracks through our high school program.
