East High students have been hard at work creating stunning silhouette compositions that bring stories to life! Using elements of contrast and space, they designed powerful visual narratives—some inspired by their own experiences and others drawn from well-known tales. Each piece captures emotion, movement, and depth, proving that sometimes, the simplest shapes can tell the most compelling stories.
Congratulations to both East and West Middle School Choirs on their performance assessments this week!
Don't miss this free event and come out to support our senior artists!

At Warner Elementary, students learned about our world by experiencing different cultures.

We love when our arts teachers can collaborate on special projects!
