A Positive Impact In Overall Student Achievement
We know that arts education can positively impact overall student achievement, improve critical thinking skills and prepare students to succeed in the workforce. Students in all Union County elementary, middle and high schools receive cultural arts programs that enhance North Carolina curriculum guidelines and serve students by promoting character and moral development, creative thinking, fluency and provide tools and strategies that help contribute to a lifetime of interpersonal skills. The Union County Community Arts Council is proud to come alongside our educators to provide programs and services in 56 schools throughout Union County during normal school hours.
