We're thrilled to share that many of our secondary schools have received brand new band instruments through the Arts Millage Funds! Music programs are a vital part of student development, fostering creativity, discipline, and collaboration. Thanks to this much-needed funding, students across the district now have access to the instruments they need to enhance their music education.

These new instruments will not only help our students improve their musical skills but also empower them to excel in performances, competitions, and personal growth. We are incredibly grateful for the community's support through the Arts Millage, which continues to enrich the arts and ensure that our students have the tools to thrive.

Keep an eye out for performances showcasing these talented young musicians and their new equipment!

Hilliard Middle-Senior High's Fine Craft Studio I students are diving into the art of hand-embroidery! They've been learning essential stitches as they prepare to begin an exciting year-long project called "Stitch a Memory a Week."

Throughout the year, each student will use their new embroidery skills to stitch a meaningful memory from their week, creating a beautiful and personal collection of embroidered moments. This hands-on project not only teaches technical skills but also encourages reflection, creativity, and self-expression.

We can’t wait to see the amazing stories these students will stitch together by the end of the year!

We are thrilled to highlight the incredible elementary art teachers whose positions have been made possible by the Millage funds designated for the Arts. These dedicated educators are passionate about fostering creativity and artistic expression in our students.

We invite you to watch our special video introduction of these amazing teachers and see the enthusiasm and dedication they bring to their classrooms. Their commitment to nurturing young artists is truly inspiring and a testament to the impact of the millage funding on our schools.

Stay tuned for more updates and highlights of our fantastic art programs! 🎨✨

At Callahan Middle School, our talented band students recently delivered a poignant performance of "Taps" in honor of those whose lives were lost on September 11th. Their heartfelt rendition captured the solemnity and reverence of this significant day, reminding us of the sacrifices made and the unity that binds us.

We are incredibly proud of our students for their dedication and for sharing their musical talents in such a meaningful way. Their tribute serves as a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience that define our community.

Thank you to our students and band director for this moving performance and for keeping the memory of 9/11 alive through music.
