ART PROGRAMS IN SALEM
The Arts
At Western, the arts play a critical role in the development of our students, helping them to grow in their creativity, expression, and communication skills.
They also offer an opportunity to deepen our students’ faith, helping them to understand and connect with God in new and meaningful ways that are unique to them and their interests.
Choir
WCS has a proud tradition of choral singing. We offer multiple levels of choir for middle and high school students. Middle School Choir is an elective for 6th-8th grade students who want to learn more about singing or who already enjoy singing. High School Concert Choir is a fine art elective for 9th-10th grade students who wish to continue their choral singing experience or are new to choir.
Band
Concert Band is available to students from grades 6-12 for beginning and experienced players. Band classes offer students the opportunity to develop musical skills, learn teamwork, and perform for audiences. Additionally, participating in a band class can also help to foster creativity, self-discipline, and a lifelong appreciation for music.
Theater
Theater students learn about various elements of theater, including acting techniques, script analysis, stage production, and design. They have the opportunity to develop their creative abilities, increase their self-confidence, and improve their public speaking skills. Offering students a chance to showcase their skills and express their ideas in a public setting, the theater department holds two productions a year. All students are welcome to audition for each production.
