Griffin High School's fine arts department with classes in art, theater, band, and chorus offers students a variety of opportunities to explore and develop their artistic abilities. With dedicated and passionate instructors, the department provides a nurturing environment that encourages creativity, self-expression, and personal growth. Students in the art classes can experiment with various mediums and techniques, honing their artistic skills and cultivating their unique style. In theater classes, students learn the art of storytelling, developing their acting abilities and gaining a deeper understanding of dramatic techniques. The band and chorus classes offer students a chance to learn and perform music, fostering teamwork, discipline, and a love for the performing arts.

Students may pursue a Fine Arts Pathway in any of the following areas: Theatre Arts, Music Visual Arts and Journalism. A fine arts pathway includes three or more full credits in one of the designated areas - either general within the area or with a specialized focus and shows a progression and growth of knowledge and skills in the area.

Students can earn a Georgia Department of Education issued Fine Arts Diploma Seal by completing three courses within one of the pathway areas of the Fine arts. Students pursuing the Fine Arts Diploma Seal also must participate in extracurricular activities within their discipline, perform at least 20 hours of community service, and complete a Capstone Project at the end of their senior year. Your teachers, Fine Arts Department Chair, and counselors will have more details on pursuing this state-level recognition.
