HAA-SPONSORED EVENTS

HINGHAM HIGH ARTS PATHWAY PROGRAM

The Hingham Arts Alliance is proud to provide funding for the Arts Pathway Program at Hingham High. Launched as a pilot program in September 2023, the Pathway applies a community-based approach to help Hingham High students cultivate a passion and appreciation for the Fine and Performing Arts. Through professional and school art events, community building, mentorship, coursework, and career-oriented opportunities, students will develop skills that will enable them to grow enthusiasm for the arts in High School and beyond. Students who complete the Arts Pathway Program will receive a certificate that reflects significant study in the arts on their final transcript. Interested students should reach out to Ms. Bellis, Ms. Papuga, or Mr. Cincotta.
