Art & Music

The purpose of the Fine Arts Department in Henrico County Public Schools (HCPS) is to provide every child with a well-rounded, sequential, cumulative, and comprehensive arts education.

Through studies in the arts, students will gain essential knowledge as defined by the National Standards for Education in the Arts and The Fine Arts Standards of Learning (SOL) for Virginia Public Schools.

A comprehensive, articulated arts education program engages students in a process that helps them develop the self-esteem, self-discipline, cooperation, self-motivation, and 21st century skills, necessary for success in life. It is the goal of the Fine Arts Program to ensure that all students in Henrico County Public Schools have access to the rich education and understanding that the arts provide.
