Pleasant Hill Middle School

The mission of Pleasant Hill Middle School Fine Arts Department is to make the arts accessible to all students and provide them with multiple opportunities to pursue excellence in the arts through collaboration, self-discipline, perseverance, responsibility, and determination. The vision for the Arts at Pleasant Hill Middle School is to establish a vibrant culture of authentic arts integration that drives academic rigor and creativity. We will achieve this by having collaborative co-planning between core academic and arts educators to design lessons that teach the standards equitably through high-quality professional development, utilizing resources such as Artists in Residences to help develop arts integrated lessons, and maximizing student engagement by providing a variety of outlets for students to showcase their work.
