Why take Art?
- Universities (including all the state universities in AZ) require at least one credit of fine arts courses for admission. Each of the art classes offered at RMHS will fulfill 1/2 credit of this requirement.
- Art classes take everything you have learned in your core classes and apply it. We integrate the sciences, reading, writing, history, social studies and mathematics into our courses.
- Our beginning level classes do not require any previous experience in the art form.
- The SAT scores of students who have participated in the arts are higher than students who have not.
