Welcome to the Fine and Performing Arts Department's webpage. We are happy you have visited our site and hope you enjoy reading about our program.
It is exciting that students in the Needham Public Schools can take part in our program. The Fine and Performing Arts are considered to be a Core Academic by the United States Department of Education, as well as our state. Without an extensive education in the creative and expressive processes that are fundamental to the Arts, a student's education is incomplete.
Through the Fine and Performing Arts, students are able to experiment, express themselves, explore and achieve personal goals through a variety of carefully designed curricular and co-curricular activities and lessons.
From elementary students' proud displays of coil pinch pots to the Globe Scholastic Art Awards of our middle and high school students; from beginning string students learning "Twinkle, Twinkle" to international performances of the high school bands, string orchestra, and choirs, the consistent achievements of our students make Needham a notable community for its ongoing support of excellence in the Arts.
These wonderful achievements would not be possible without the extensive involvement by the entire Needham community. From the school department administration, the staff, parents, and the citizens of Needham, support for the Fine and Performing Arts is constant and consistent. We are extremely grateful for this.
As the Director of Fine and Performing Arts. I am excited to be a part of an impressive, high performing, vibrant educational community that is committed to offering and delivering the finest possible education to all Needham students. Please feel free to contact me at any time to discuss our fine and performing arts programs or to plan a visit. We love showing our students' work off to the community.
Sincerely,
Dr. David Neves, Director
