Arts

For nearly 60 years, Divine Child has been dedicated to creative excellence and continues to offer one of Southeast Michigan's most recognized high school art programs. Our students have the opportunity to flex their creative muscle through visual arts like drawing, painting and ceramics; through applied arts such as sewing and culinary arts; as well as through performing arts like band, choir and theatre. A number of alumni actors, musicians, artists and chefs can say their career launched at Divine Child.
