Wayne County Festival of Choirs
Conveying the importance of music education in the curriculum and community is the main goal of this concert. This high school choir festival also provides an opportunity for individual school choirs to perform before participating in the OMEA Large Group state contest. The concert concludes with a massed choral performance of more than 550 SATB voices under the direction of a college conductor. After the concert each high school director is provided with constructive comments on their presentation to increase the quality of their choral performance.

Showcase for the Visual Arts
Showcase for Visual Art is designed to place professionally matted and framed student artworks in businesses, banks and offices of professionals throughout Ashland County. Donations from sponsors are used to mat and frame the artwork and purchase a gift card for each student artist. Artwork is displayed at the sponsor's business for one year, then returned to the school for display and eventually returned to the student artists.

Holmes County "Celebration of the Arts"
Holmes County “Celebration of the Arts” is sponsored by the East Holmes and West Holmes Local Schools. The Holmes County “Celebration of the Arts” is designed to bring about a renewed recognition of the vital place of art and music education in our schools and to support the notion that the study of the arts leads to a fuller, more meaningful life, and that the training and skills gained through visual art and music opens new worlds to all involved. It is fitting for the Holmes County community to recognize that visual art and music education are an essential part of the learning process for our students.
Stained Glass Class
Students created a stained glass project, introducing them to the skills needed for more intricate projects. Crafting with stained glass requires meticulous measurement, precise cutting, and much patience with yourself and the materials. Students need to be able to take direction, follow safety rules, and persist with a project that will require some ‘do-overs.’ Patience, creativity and precision will paid off in a colorful glass composition.
