New High School Electives

There is something special about watching students create something with their own hands.

This year, our high school art students have even more opportunities to explore beauty, develop their skills, and discover new talents through our growing fine arts offerings, including gouache painting and a new ceramics elective.

In gouache painting, students are learning to work with a unique water-based paint known for its rich, opaque color, combining some of the fluidity of watercolor with the bold coverage of acrylic. We are fortunate to have Miss Teska, a former Hillsdale Master Art Teacher, sharing her knowledge and skill as she guides students through this beautiful medium.

Our new ceramics elective is equally exciting, with Mrs. Scott, our newest art teacher and a professional ceramics artist, leading students in the craft. With the addition of our own kiln, students can now experience the entire process, from shaping a simple piece of clay to creating a finished work of art.

These new opportunities are about more than adding electives. They’re about giving our students new ways to wonder, create, persevere, and experience beauty.

And we can’t wait to see what they create.
