Over 200 Katy ISD Students Commit to Collegiate Visual and Performing Arts Programs
June 14 2024
Katy ISD is proud to announce that more than 200 fine arts students have committed to continuing their post-secondary education in visual and performing arts.
Prior to the close of the school year, eight high schools held fine arts signing days, where distinguished institutions announced the students’ commitment to their collegiate visual and performing arts programs.
These accomplished students were enrolled in one or more of the District’s fine arts disciplines – art, band, choir, dance, orchestra and theater.

Research continues to show that students exposed to arts instruction display strong academic achievement in other areas. Other benefits of an arts education include improved fine motor skills, creativity and cognition. Visit the District’s Fine Arts webpage to learn more about offered programs.
