Port Richmond High School is committed to providing a comprehensive arts education. Our highly qualified arts teachers constantly assess student work throughout the year. We offer many classes for students to begin or continue their studies in the arts. The performing arts classes offered at Port Richmond High School are Beginning Band, Concert Band, Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble, Jazz Band, Big Band, Marching Band, Chorus, Beginning Guitar, Guitar Ensemble, Beginning Strings, Advanced String Orchestra, Introduction to Theatre, Advanced Theatre, Beginning Visual Art and Advanced Visual Art. We also offer a 3 year sequential TV/Media sequence culminating in the production of our weekly TV show Good Morning Port Richmond. Our Marching Band can be seen in parades throughout New York City as well as up and down the eastern seaboard. We have a SING production in the fall and a musical each winter and spring. The students in our Music Department attend music festivals outside the school each year and perform at various school and community functions. Partnerships include Exploring the Arts (Tony Bennett & Susan Benedetto), Roundabout Theatre Company, Carnegie Hall, Jazz at Lincoln Center, and ABC Grants awarded through Staten Island Council on the Arts. We moved to remote and blended learning fairly easily utilizing web based resources such as Soundtrap, MusicFirst, Smartmusic, Nearpod, Sling Studio, and many more.
