Competitions

High School Fine Arts

Grades 9–12

Grades 9–12

High School Fine Arts is a large, multi-disciplinary competition where students in grades 9–12 present their God-given talents before qualified judges across music, speech, art, and academics.

Four high-school students in performance vests and bow ties smiling and raising their drinks together outside the venue.

Who can take part: Participation is limited to students from FACCS member schools and homeschool families.

How it works

Students may enter up to five categories across the areas, plus up to two art entries. Solo and duet categories are split into Varsity (grades 11–12) and Junior Varsity (grades 9–10) divisions, while large ensembles are grouped by school size. Most performances are memorized and unamplified, with live piano accompaniment.
