The Conservatory strives to recognize our student's artistic achievements. Our goal is to have every senior receive state-level honors recognition. To qualify as a recipient of the Arizona State Seal of Arts Proficiency, a student must be dedicated to at least 1 Fine Arts discipline, which includes Band, Choir, Dance, Theatre, Visual Arts, or a CTE Design Program including Graphic Design and Film and TV to pursue state-level honors recognition.

The Conservatory wants our Desert Edge student artists to pursue state-level honors recognition by completing the requirements for the Arizona State Seal of Arts Proficiency. Completion of the seal is a tremendous honor.

Students who complete the state seal requirements will be recognized at graduation, receive Fine Arts Honors Cords, have the Arizona State Seal of Arts Proficiency permanently affixed to the graduate's diploma, and a notation will be in the student artists transcript as a state diploma seal recipient, and the student will be recognized at senior honors night.

Please click HERE for detailed information about the Arizona State Seal of Arts Proficiency, a link to the application, and additional requirements.
