Visual & Performing Arts
Welcome to the Department of Visual and Performing Arts!
Drama, Visual Arts, and Music are core subjects taught at Diegueño Middle School. Our programs offer a hands-on learning approach to unlock the creative potential of our students while encouraging curiosity, growth, and development of the artistic spirit.
Arts Department Goals Include:
- Meet individual student needs (from beginner to artistically and musically experienced student).
- Provide a student forum for expression of ideas and aesthetic reflection.
- Provide a safe environment for creative exploration, practice, and refinement of artistic skills, and emerging collaboration and leadership.
- Facilitate authentic performance and exhibition experiences for all students.
