Mission and Vision
The Sumter School District’s Fine Arts Department strives to provide superior, standards-based arts instruction to all students. It is our aim to foster creativity, self-expression, and enriching arts opportunities that ensure high-quality, equitable arts experiences that coincide with academic achievement in order to promote in our students a life-long appreciation of the arts.
Our vision is to CREATE, SHAPE and INNOVATE a thriving and inclusive arts community where each student is empowered to explore their maximum individual potential in the arts. We envision a diverse arts community that is celebrated and essential to students’ academic growth, INNOVATIVE thinking, and more importantly, global citizenship. By providing resources, opportunities, and support to SHAPE artistic expression, we aspire to motivate students to embrace the transformative power of the arts. Through the arts, we seek to encourage a future where CREATIVITY is at the heart of education and self-expression, building a more compassionate, well-connected, and vibrant world.
