Admiral arts honored with unique senior signing day
Those characteristics inspired the creation
of the school’s first ever Arts Signing Day, which took place Monday, May 4, inside the FHS library.
“Just being an observer of our Fine Arts program, whether it’s at Empty Bowls, watching them perform on the field on Friday night or at an orchestra concert, thinking how special and talented these kids are, I wanted them to have a moment to celebrate their next steps and that they continue to invest in the arts,” Vaughn said.
“As a former Fine Arts teacher myself, I taught musical theater and chorus for 25 years,” added fellow assistant principal Kimberly Mink. “So it truly is the culmination of watching these kids grow from elementary school to middle school to high school and being able to recognize that the arts have a piece in that journey. It has impacted them in such a positive way that they’re continuing to pursue that after high school.”
During the ceremony, 11 Farragut seniors were recognized for their intent to pursue the arts in college.
The event unfolded in the same manner as athletic signing days, as Vaughn spoke with FHS athletic director Donald Dodgen while preparing for last Monday’s festivities.
