Beginning in fall of 2014, TAMS students will enjoy a brand new art classroom! The visual arts program fosters creativity and establishes a solid foundation of skills in drawing, painting, and sculpture, which students expand on while in high school.

Every spring, TAMS students put on a "Trashion Show" at the high school's Garland Auditorium. Fashion pieces are made in art class using repurposed and recycled materials.The 2014 show also included TED-style videos through which students explained their impact on the world in relation to natural resources and fair labor. The videos were created in coordination with a social studies learning unit focused on the global garment industry and Fair Trade goods.

TAMS has a vibrant performing arts program including dance and drama clubs, as well as a concert band and choir, which put on performances every year at Garland Auditorium.

In December 2015 Thornton Academy Middle School students performed A Christmas Carol. Click here to read more!
