orthwood High School, named one of Newsweek’s 1500 Best US Public High Schools, is home to a vibrant arts education department where hundreds of students engage in arts classes, band competitions, choral ensembles, drama productions, visual art exhibitions, club activities, and dance concerts. The 2008–2009 academic year was one of change and challenge. Chris Blice joined NHS as our new principal and Marilyn Shugart joined the faculty as choral and guitar instructor. Construction began on the highlyanticipated new arts wing, requiring classes to relocate and share spaces. Even so, students continued to excel, winning accolades and collaborating to create exciting new works. This retrospective highlights a year of their impressive achievements.
