![]() The student artist in School District
Four has the opportunity to grow and develop through a
wide range of creative offerings within our fine arts programming.
In addition to the district’s school day curriculum,
students have convenient access to many after school programs
and private instruction through the local colleges in the
area.
We are proud to offer award winning and broad-based visual
arts and music courses in the beautiful new William L. Howell III Fine
Arts Wing at Woodruff High School. In the visual arts, instruction
begins early at Woodruff Primary School and continues with
increased offerings at each level through high school. Gifted
art programs begin in the third grade and continue through
the twelfth grade. The National Junior Art Honor Society
involves students at Woodruff Middle School and continues
at Woodruff High School with the National Art Honor Society.
Beginning in the ninth grade, students may elect to specialize
in two or three-dimensional visual arts studies, culminating
in four Advanced Placement course offerings with
A.P. Two-Dimensional Design, A.P. Three-Dimensional Design,
A.P. Drawing, and A.P. Art History. Secondary students are very successful in their participation in local, state
and national art exhibitions and competitions, garnering
numerous past recognitions for their high artistic achievement.
Music courses in District Four are exciting as students
may choose choral or instrumental offerings. Choral music
begins at the primary school and continues through to twelfth
grade. Instrumental band begins in the fifth grade at the elementary
school and continues through to marching, concert and jazz bands
at Woodruff High School. Band offerings are in place for
the student at Woodruff Middle School that also include
the steel drum band and a new percussion course offering.
WHS is proud to offer an award winning jazz ensemble and girls ensemble for young musicians. The Woodruff High School Marching Cadets are very active in
competitive events, and our WHS choral groups are also very
active in community performance events. Gifted music programs
begin in the third grade and continue through the high
school grades. Our bands compete in the AA school competitive
division winning many regional and state honors.
