Arts Honors Recognition

Students who complete the state seal requirements will be recognized at graduation, receive Fine Arts Honors Cords, have the Arizona State Seal of Arts Proficiency permanently affixed to the graduate's diploma, and a notation will be in the student artists transcript as a state diploma seal recipient, and the student will be recognized at senior honors night.
