Norcross High School boasts a superior Fine Arts Department which offers courses in Instrumental (Orchestra and Band) and Choral music, Visual arts, and Dramatic arts. An International Baccalaureate Music class is offered for our IB music students as well as three Advanced Placement visual arts classes. Many of our students are selected to participate in honor regional and state music ensembles, dramatic competitions, and conferences. Students are provided frequent opportunities to perform locally and within the Norcross Community. Many Fine Arts graduates continue their artistic pursuits beyond graduation and have received scholarships for college. Please visit the NHS Art Gallery for examples of the great work of NHS students.
