Arts
The Visual and Performing Arts Department at Hilton Head Island High School is one of the largest departments at “The Nest.”
The department boasts 9 different arts teachers. On the visual side, we offer drawing, painting, digital art, 3D design, photography, illustration, graphic design, animation and film. On the performing side, we offer band, guitar, dance, theatre, piano and choir. We also offer IB Visual Art, IB Film, IB Dance, and IB Theater.
Visual and Performing Arts students have been recognized for their abilities on the local, state, national, and international level. Each year the department collaborates on a fall and spring “Arts Showcase” where all classes combine to produce an art exhibit and performance in the Seahawk Cultural Center.
Come be a part of this award winning department!
