Fine Arts
The Normandy Fine Arts department is one of the jewels of the school district, a distinguished program, which has been recognized locally and nationally for its productions and the talents of students and staff.
The Normandy Fine Arts department is headed by Ms. Suzanne Palmer. Students in Normandy are able to experience the arts beginning in preschool with music and dramatic play. As they matriculate, students can participate in a variety of arts programs and offerings including drama/speech, piano, orchestra, choir, and band.
As a result of their performances and talents honed in Normandy, high school seniors have received scholarships to universities throughout the country to continue their education.
Some of the accolades students and staff have received include:
- Recipients of multiple grants including the Maritz Arts & Education Teacher Grants
- Participation in the Dance St. Louis Residency and Opera Theater of St. Louis Monsanto Artists-in-Training programs
