Mrs. Carolyn Weber came to the Fine Arts Department in 2024-2025 school year and will continue as the drama teacher for the coming year. First- through sixth-grade students will have drama class once a week with Mrs. Weber, and middle and high school students will have the opportunity to audition for productions. The ninth-grade class takes a required speech elective that includes skits and minor stage performances. Recent musical productions have included “The Sound of Music”, “A World of Music” and “America the Beautiful.”
Membership in the South Carolina Association of Christian Schools (SCACS) provides Calvary students with the opportunity to participate annually in Elementary and High School Fine Arts Festivals. Students compete in a variety of disciplines, including vocal solos and ensembles, piano, violin, woodwind, handchimes, photography, arts and crafts, speech, and much more. Often times, students at Calvary advance to national competition!
