Fine Arts College, Career, and Community Event
We're excited to host the Fine Arts College and Career event on Thursday, November 20th, 5-8 PM at the School Board Meeting Room (south end of Fleming Island HS, near the bus loop).
This free event will feature representatives from colleges and universities from across the state who will share information about the various opportunities they offer students in the fine arts (whether majoring in the arts or not). There will also be community/career representatives present to discuss how students can stay involved in the fine arts outside of schooling. Students can also learn more about the FL Seal of Fine Arts and how they can pursue this opportunity and be recognized for their achievement in the fine arts.
We hope to see you at this free event!

The impressive Presentation of Colors by the Fleming Island High School ROTC Color Guard.
A beautiful performance of the National Anthem and patriotic selections by the talented Paterson Chorus directed by Kelly Lotze.
