ARTS & ACTIVITIES
High School

Art

One of Finney’s strengths is its award winning visual arts program.  Finney students have won 5 national awards and 120+ regional awards from the prestigious Scholastic Art Awards, in competition with most public and private schools.  We offer an extensive art major at the high school level including Studio in Art, Drawing and Painting, Advanced Drawing and Painting, Photography, Computer Graphics as well as AP Studio Art.

Music

Each year dozens of students participate in Studio Orchestra, Jazz Ensemble, Choir, and Worship Teams.  The music department produces two major concerts annually, and students regularly perform throughout the community.  Music Appreciation and Theory classes, individual and group lessons and AP Music Theory are available.  Finney students have won high honors at NYSSMA solo festivals. 

Drama
Each year, the high school produces a spring musical. Previous play productions include Our Town, Cheaper by the Dozen, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Finney’s repertoire of musicals includes Annie, Godspell, Cinderella, The King and I, West Side Story and Bye Bye Birdie.

Yearbook
Every year Finney students bring their graphic design, writing and photography skills together to produce a yearbook.

Student Government

Finney students have the opportunity to participate in Class Government.

NYS Bar Association Mock Trial
Mock trial is a competition that provides students with hands-on opportunities to further their understanding of the law, court procedures, and our legal system while honing their speaking, listening, reading and reasoning skills.  County champions advance to regional competitions, with six teams meeting in Albany for the statewide finals each May.  Local attorneys act as mentors and coaches and have a great impact on our students. 

Spiritual Development

In addition to our Bible classes and weekly chapel, Finney students participate in Worship Team, Ambassadors and Community Service.

C.A.T.C.H. Student Mentoring

High school students provide tutoring and assistance as teachers aides to elementary and middle school students.
