In January 2010, three of our high school art students were selected to show their artwork at the O’Silas Gallery at Concordia College. The music program is hitting the big time, with performances by the SHS wind ensemble at Carneegie Hall on March 7, the Chamber Choir at Carnegie Hall on March 11 and all three district jazz ensembles performing at the Plaza at Lincoln Center on April 21st.

Next time you are in your child’s school, check out the corridor walls. Thanks to a concerted effort by our faculty, district administrators and FMA’s gift of permanent art display cases, you will increasingly see fine examples of student art on display for all to enjoy.

Look out for SHS graduate, Craig Usher’s sculpture which now sits permanently in the front of SHS.
