In an era of shrinking budgets, Fraser Public Schools has remained committed to the arts and humanities as an integral part of your child’s overall education. The ability to express creativity through the medium of art is fundamental for your child’s well-being as well as shaping their critical thinking skills. The Arts Program at Fraser is widely recognized as one of the best in the State of Michigan due in large measure to maintaining our commitment to providing and enhancing various offerings to our students.

Arts are more than just paint to canvas. The Arts Programs include music, band, choir and drama, as well as more traditional art classes like drawing, painting and sculpture. From elementary through high school, the arts allow our students to express themselves and grow their identities through creativity and passion. We nurture talent and recognize that the arts, and its appreciation, create well-rounded young men and women who are able to face the challenges of the “real world” with the same passion and creativity they demonstrate in the classroom, on stage or in concert.

Research shows that the benefits of early arts education extend way beyond providing a creative outlet for your children. Our goals in providing arts education to our students include: fostering imagination, promoting cognitive and creative abilities, enhancing fine motor skills and instilling problem solving skills – all valuable tools for successful academic careers and successful lives thereafter.

Nationally, Fraser has been winning awards from New York to California. The Fraser Singers, our high school’s show choir, was invited in spring 2009 to perform at Carnegie Hall in New York as part of a national competition – and was only one of six schools nationwide to receive the prestigious honor.  During national band and show competitions held in San Diego, California in Spring 2009, several Fraser High School bands and choirs took top honors in competition with schools from around the country.
