Past Performances
The Swain Arts Center offered our second Summer Arts Camp in June. The program focused on traditional Cherokee storytelling and art. Our students made field trips to significant Cherokee historical and cultural sites and created art projects with instruction from native artisans.
Guest artists present a variety of arts programming for all Swain County School students each year. Roger Day performed for our Bright Adventures Pre-K students in April. He inspired students with his Dream Big program.
The Spring Musical is always a highlight! This year our chorus, drama, band, art, and carpentry students collaborated to present High School Musical. Great job!
