Fine and Performing Arts
Dr. Katherine Sinsabaugh, Supervisor of Fine and Performing Arts
The Port Chester-Rye UFSD Department of Fine and Performing Arts aims to empower all students to cultivate their voice and understand our world by exploring music, theater, and visual arts. Our goal is to create an inclusive, rigorous environment where students learn to think critically, strive for quality, and gain the foundation skills for lifelong participation in the arts.
We follow the tenets of the NY state standards: Creating, Performing/Presenting/Producing, Responding, and Connecting.
