We are excited to celebrate the incredible achievements of our senior artists! Fine Arts Signing Day honors students who plan to continue their artistic journey beyond high school—whether by studying the arts in college or participating in an arts-related group or program. This includes (but is not limited to): band, choir, theatre, visual arts, dance, film, or any other fine arts discipline.
During the event, each student will:
  •  Be introduced by a teacher of their choice who will say a few words
  •  Have a chance to say a short thank-you or share excitement about their next steps
  •  Receive a certificate of recognition
  •  Celebrate with a short reception following the signing

Parents/guardians are warmly invited to join students on stage and sign with them as part of this special moment.
Please Note:
  • Students are responsible for bringing decorations for their individual tables.
  • This event commemorates your commitment to the college or university of your choice and celebrates your dedication to the arts.
  • More details will be shared via email—please keep an eye out!
