The Arts
The Visual and Performing Arts Department at BCCHS all share the same belief and common vision:
To provide a wide variety of arts courses that offers students a rigorous standards-based curriculum that prepares them for postsecondary university, conservatory, and arts careers in the 21st Century.
A number of our Arts classes are part of CTE pathways. Many of the proffered courses are articulated with Pierce College, Valley College, or Glendale Community College for college credit if passed with a “B” or higher.
Most students enrolled in these classes are exposed to industry professionals in their field of interest through internships, competitions, festivals, and field trips.
Mission Statement
Inspire students to engage in meaningful learning in a safe, creative, and nurturing environment.
Challenge students to be critical thinkers and productive members and leaders of the community.
