Welcome to the Secondary Division Page!

As High School Art Educators we have the opportunity to engage young people in a holistic experience of learning that activates creative thinking, risk taking, and problem solving, with the larger outcome of empowering students to use their voices through visual communication. Here you will find resources to inspire your important work, links to topics regarding arts advocacy and policy, as well as other content focusing on art education at the High School level.

All Division members are encouraged to contribute by sending documents, links, and other information to the Division Director: [email protected].
