Your one-stop-shop for everything relating to Arts at SVUSD
Studies show arts education not only decreases feelings of anxiety, depression, and isolation but also positively impacts all-around academic performance. As students struggle through this ever changing world, the Arts are not a luxury, they are a tool for recovery and confidence.
Mission Statement:
Our committee's goal is to build and support a robust Arts culture for our students and families of SVUSD. We will advocate for the arts through elected officials, legislation, education, and delivery of information, while facilitating a relationship between school sites and Saddleback District. We are reliable and transparent when communicating about the budget for campus programs. We will continue to provide a platform that encompasses all art opportunities by filtering relavent information abut local resources and school site activities.

Numerous studies show the arts support the development of all of these essential skills. "The Connection Between Art, Healing..." APHA 2010
