Fine Arts
The Fine Arts offerings at Mason Public Schools are comprehensive and diverse. We EDUCATE and EMPOWER students to SUCCEED in performing and visual arts.
At the elementary level, all students experience weekly lessons in hands on visual arts and interactive music education, taught by certified content educators.
Mason Middle School performing arts experiences include band, choral music and theater with opportunities to expand and improve individual skills. All students at Mason Middle School will have a visual arts experience in 2-D and 3-D mediums, with an additional opportunity to participate in Graphic Arts.
Mason High School offers a wide range of performing and visual art opportunities. The performing arts program at MHS provides opportunities for students of all ability levels in band, choir and theater. The visual arts program focuses on the fundamentals of art using the elements and principles of design as the foundation of the program. Mason Public Schools students are offered many opportunities to showcase and exhibit their work.
