The West Milford Arts Department strives to create opportunities to enrich our students and the community through the power of the arts.
Department Supervisor: Mr. John Boronow
Welcome to the website for West Milford Public Schools Arts Department. We are very pleased to offer a comprehensive Arts program in all grades K-12. The Arts enrich us all and students in the High School have access to many choices in Art, Music and Family Consumer Sciences, including, for example, Band, Choir, Art, Sculpture, Photography, TV Communications, AP Art electives, Child Development and Culinary Arts. At Macopin School we offer Band, Chorus and Art, as well as after school club and a school-wide Musical. Art and Music instruction is in grades K-6, and beginning in Grade 5 we offer Band and Chorus. We also offer a wide variety of extra-circular experiences, and many of our HS ensembles compete in local and regional circuits.
We are very proud of our students and staff, but we always reminded that it is the support of our community, Board of Education, and administration that keeps on track, and enables us to reach so many through the Arts. To that end, the West Milford Public Schools have time and again been awarded the "Best Communities for Music Education" Designation by National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM), most recently in 2017. This award recognizes that it involves the community and administration, as well as the students and staff to offer an outstanding program.
I hope you will take advantage of this website to learn about our staff and course offerings, as well as keep up to date with events, concerts, trips, etc, as listed on our calendar. But most importantly, we hope you get the chance to see first hand our students creative talents in Music, Art, Theater, Photography, TV Communications, Child Development, and Culinary Arts, by attending an event or concert in the coming months. We are proud of our students, and their efforts, and are pleased to share their talents with the community at large!
