Mission
Our mission is to expand and broaden the academic experiences of our students with a focus in the arts and to build a community of learners who develop a passion for creativity and become innovative members of our diverse society.We want our students to graduate with a strong potential in one of the arts while being fully prepared to pursue the college and career of their choice.

Academic Options
All Reynoldsburg High School academies offer Weighted (Enriched) or Non-weighted credit for many classes. For those choosing enriched courses,Advanced Placement (AP) and college level classes, students will receive weighted grades. This enables us to personalize the experience for every student. Students are given the opportunity to interview with local businesses to meet student needs and interests.

Internships
Every student will graduate with more than a high school diploma. Students will have many opportunities to intern with mentors not only in the visual and fine arts professions; but also in the performance and production professions. This will allow students to expand their skill sets while gaining hands-on experience in their field of interest.
