Overview

We aim to provide a comprehensive arts education consisting of arts instruction arts integration and arts exposure. Four separate and distinct disciplines, each with its own body of knowledge and skills, are offered. Both visual and performing arts develop talents, skills and excellence in the products and performances that are created while supporting the overall academic growth of our students.

By participating in the arts, students are given opportunities to perceive and think creatively, develop talents and skills, internalize an appreciation of the arts, make personal connections and enhance other subjects across the curriculum. In Nash County Public Schools, arts educators teach highly effective lessons based on the North Carolina Standard Course of Study. 

Our elementary students receive weekly instruction in visual arts and general music.

At the middle school level, students elect to take band, orchestra, chorus and visual art.

Visual art, pottery, band, orchestra, chorus, dance and theatre are offered at high schools.
