Fort Bend ISD seeks to provide for all students a high quality fine arts education that supports their academic, social, emotional and creative development. This goal is achieved through a comprehensive performing and visual arts curriculum that provides a wide-range of learning experiences and performance opportunities. Fine arts courses are structured in ways that promote the development of character, student leadership and life-long learning. Over 17,600 middle school students and 12, 000 high school students district-wide participate in fine arts courses that offer students the opportunity to work collaboratively with their peers as part of a group. Responsibility, teamwork, and good citizenship are fostered as students learn to depend on one other to achieve organizational goals. The ultimate aim of the FBISD Fine Arts Department is to produce graduates of high integrity who understand and appreciate the arts, and who will promote the continuing development of artistic endeavors in their communities.
