Lower Dauphin High School

The mission of the Lower Dauphin Art Department is to enable students to become 21st century life-long learners who create, present, respond, and connect their artwork to themselves and their community. Our art program strives to nurture the visual acuity and visual problem solving abilities of all Lower Dauphin students.  We empower students to develop artistic behaviors through a variety of electives at the high school level, designed to address many interests and skill levels. At our program’s core are the multi-leveled course tracks: Digital Photography, Fine Art, Illustration, and Pottery. Additional artistic learning opportunities are found in AP Art History, Fibers, Multicultural Art, Sculpture, and the Business of Art. Our program fosters student artists who are active in the National Art Honor Society, and have consistently won awards regionally, statewide, and nationally. Many student artists have continued to study art beyond high school.
