Fine Arts
West Branch offers an extensive array of opportunities in which students can explore the arts, grow their talents, build leadership skills, and contribute to the teamwork required to create and perform in the fine arts.
Our music, art, and theatre programs provide creative outlets as students develop and hone their skills as they collaborate and build relationships with their peers.
