Welcome from Jim Usher, Co-Chairman of Fine Arts

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to American Heritage Fine Arts Department. This international, national, state, regional and district champion department welcomes you to our program.

We offer a complete fine arts curriculum in all disciplines: Visual Arts: drawing, painting, ceramics, sculpture, graphics, computer graphics , etc. Strings: violin, viola, cello; Bands: brass, jazz, conventional, marching, etc. Drama: acting, design, directing, musical theater, etc. Vocal Music: mixed choir, a cappella choir, and women's choir. We, as a teaching body, give all students numerous opportunities to display their talent both on campus and across the state, nation, and world. We insist that a student be a well rounded talent by teaching not only performance techniques but also by employing a complete historical foundation to all disciplines of study.

We welcome the most gifted artist to the beginner and through our low student - teacher ratio each person will develop at his/her level. The administration at American Heritage firmly believes in the fully developed student by employing the arts as a teaching method beginning in the PK-4 classroom and maintains that commitment to the graduating senior, in 12th grade. I hope what you see in the pages to follow interests you and you will contact us for further information.

Sincerely,

Jim Usher
Co-Chairman of Fine Arts
