A Message from the Director
Forest Hills Public Schools is home to an amazing visual and performing arts program. Whether you are just beginning your journey with us or are an old friend returning, here you will find information about the FHPS music, art, and theatre departments. In addition to the incredible staff and programs we have in our schools, Forest Hills is also home to a state-of-the-art fine arts center. The Forest Hills Fine Arts Center is the hub of student, staff, community, and visiting artists.
We believe fine arts education is essential to the development of all students K-12th grade. Whether a band class, choir concert, art show, or a one-act play performance, creativity abounds at every campus in the district. The importance of fine arts in education has been studied by research organizations, college professors, and school districts for decades and these studies reveal how the power of the fine arts inspires, motivates, and educates students across socio-economic backgrounds and disciplines.
Please use the links to the right to navigate through the fine arts programs in our schools. The fine arts calendar on this page has events scheduled primarily at our school buildings. If you need the calendar for our Fine Arts Center, please visit their site. We look forward to seeing you at our many performances and exhibits throughout the year.
Thank you for supporting the visual and performing arts in Forest Hills Public Schools.
