Sign up as early in your high school career as you can.

Many 9th graders are involved in the art, music, and theater programs.Although only one credit is required, more than half of the students at this school graduate with multiple credits in the arts.

Such a move allows more flexibility in later years to either take more courses or move on to other subjects.

Nothing is sadder than to see seniors taking theater or art for the first time only to find out how much they enjoyed it.
