Fine Arts Department

  • Our Fine Arts Magnet Program:

    Gregory-Lincoln is a school-wide magnet for the Performing and Visual Arts in which all students participate in the magnet program. There is free bus transportation for the magnet transfer students that qualify. Our application process follows HISD policies and timelines.

     

    Students are expected to advance in skill development so they can join a fine arts performing group. Students perform and display their work in school-wide events throughout the year. The performers participate in local area competitions, win awards and recognition, and gain exposure and experience at a multitude of events.

     

    Additionally, we offer tutoring and intervention before, during, and after school so we can meet the needs of all our students.
