The mission of the South Florence High School Fine Arts Department is to offer students a quality education with the pursuit of the Arts as a core tenet. For the last fifteen years, the program’s teachers have sought to instill in their students a love of life-long learning and creative expression through the Arts in Basic Curriculum (ABC) Project and the ABC grants the schools has received. With administrative support, the Arts faculty at South Florence has grown, requests for Arts classes have increased, and the Arts credits earned has doubled. South Florence has had students at the Governor School for the Arts and has had winners at regional visual arts shows; students have also been accepted into district, region, and AllState music events. The Fine Arts program recently participate in a Facebook Live event through the ABC Project. During the day-long event, ABC schools across the state showcased their Fine Arts programs in an effort to promote the Arts and ABC sites throughout South Carolina. The live event was held on February 12 and the video can be viewed on the SF Facebook page. During their video, South Florence students showcased dance, theater, band, chorus, visual arts and 3D printing. South Florence is excited to become a Magnet School for the Arts in the 2019-2020 school year. An interest meeting will be held on Tuesday, March 5 at 6:30 p.m. in South Florence’s media center. Parents and guardians of gifted rising ninth graders with a passion for the arts are invited to review the course of study as well as the application/audition process for the new Arts Magnet School. Courses in the Magnet program will include band, orchestra, chorus, theater, dance, creative writing, visual arts and video production. An application will be available online after the meeting.
