In the Syosset Central School District, we have found that participation in the arts offers our students an outlet for self-expression that can ignite a lifelong passion for creative endeavors.  Art and music education foster creativity, and help students to develop problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, as well as teach self-discipline and the value of perseverance. Through the arts, our students cultivate 21st century skills that will prepare them for success in any career path they choose.  Perhaps most importantly, studying the arts helps students to make connections between themselves, their innermost feelings, and the world around them.

The Art Department offers a full range of courses in every art medium to satisfy the needs and interests of every student. Facilities for specialized processes are available as well as for the conventional avenues of expression. Through the wide variety of courses, students have the opportunity to develop artistic skills, an understanding of art, sensitivity to design, and an appreciation for order and beauty.
