Band Leaders Get Jump Start On 2012-13

Many thanks to the dedicated members of the 2012-13 DGN Marching Band Leadership Team who spent the first day of "summer vacation" preparing for NEXT year.

North High welcomed internationally renown music educator and student leadership trainer Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser to campus. "Dr. Tim" made a significant impact on our students today, challenging them to lead by example and make a difference in the lives of others through "servant leadership." Thank you Dr. Tim!

FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT PHILOSOPHY

The philosophy of the North High School Fine Arts Department faculty is to offer students a well-rounded curricular experience that includes exposure to genres of music, theatre, and visual art in a wide variety of creative settings. Program goals that serve as tenets for the North High School Fine Arts Department faculty are: To provide a productive and cooperative learning environment in which students of various backgrounds and ability levels may learn to achieve outstanding artistic results; To intentionally study music, theatre and visual art from cultures and communities that have been historically under-represented; To engage students in a journey toward artistic and personal success at the highest level; To develop in young people the appreciation, discrimination, analysis, and participation skills necessary to become lifelong consumers of the arts.
