By cutting art and the music
programs, you are further hurting your
students. I understand there
are budget cuts and financial debt;
however, I believe there are solutions that do not involve eliminating these
programs all together.”

“The arts must be at the heart of every child's
learning experience if…
they are to have a chance to dream and to create, to have beliefs, to carry a sense of
cultural identity.”

“Please don’t deny my son (who will be a TSC student) the
opportunity to discover the art inside himself. I
can already tell that he is not going be an athlete – he is
going to be an artist.”

Because art is collaborative, it
develops cooperative
decision-making skills, leadership,
and clear communications that are useful
when working with others. In the art room we regularly integrate the other
core academic areas bringing
those concepts to life.

“The arts are essential to every child's education, which is why the arts are one of the core academic subjects in the No
Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). Some schools, facing tight local budgets, are cutting arts programs and blaming the cuts on NCLB. In a letter to state and local superintendents, former Secretary of Education Rod Paige said that cutting arts is
"disturbing and just plain wrong.””

TSC High Schools“We must include the arts in the education of all students if we want our children to be prepared for the challenges of life and work in our global society. The challenges of
today, and most certainly of tomorrow, require the abilities, skills, habits, and knowledge that education in
the arts is uniquely able to provide.”

"Arts education plays an essential part in children's
education. It enriches their
learning experience and builds skills
that they can apply across the
curriculum. The arts can play a
significant role in programs that
extend the school day and the school
year."
--Arne Duncan, US Education Secretary

“…an education in the arts is not
expendable. It is not extraneous. It's not extracurricular. It is essential. And
without it, a student is not getting a full,
complete, and total education.”
--Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee
TSC Art Program“Every child is instinctively an artist.
The problem is how to remain an artist once they grow up.”
--Pablo Picasso
