Music and Fine Arts
Continuing its mission to welcome and embrace students of diverse talents, Seton Keough has an excellent Fine Arts program. Whether your interest is playing a musical instrument, singing, or art—painting, drawing, design, photography, or sculpture— Seton Keough has introductory, advanced, and AP classes to inspire you. Seton Keough students each year are named Maryland Distinguished Scholars based on their participation in its Fine Arts program.
Music at Seton Keough is an academic subject. Students progress more rapidly and achieve excellence by having music education and lessons every day. The Seton Keough concert band is the largest and most commended all-girls band in the Archdiocese of Baltimore. The A Cappella and Concert choirs were asked to perform with the National Philharmonic at Strathmore Hall in Bethesda, Md. the last two years. The choirs were selected based on years of Superior Ratings. Seton Keough offers Honors Music Theory for students interested in perusing music as a major in college. Unique to Seton Keough, the music department offers Applied Piano and Applied Voice, which allows students to take individual lessons.
The art department offers classes from basic drawing and design to advanced photography, advanced ceramics, and honors and AP Fine Arts Studio for students who wish to study art in college. The art department has two large studios with a kiln for ceramics and a photo lab. Under the English department, students can take a class in publication design that prepares and produces the school yearbook The Phoenix.

Seton Keough Athletics (For more Information about Athletics visit the Athletic portion of the Seton Keough Web site)
Seton Keough’s athletic tradition is built on the principal of providing opportunities for a diverse population of students to become involved in sports, learn teamwork and leadership skills, and achieve their best. Yet despite this humble goal, Seton Keough and its founding schools have been a dominant force in high school athletics in the Baltimore area for decades. Seton Keough has 18 competitive teams in 12 sports. In the past several years, Seton Keough’s athletic teams have been at the top of the rankings in basketball, lacrosse, cross country, indoor and outdoor track, and softball.
Seton Keough’s student-athletes are consistently named to All-City and All-Metro teams and to the IAAM All-Star teams. However, in order to have a premier athletic program, academics must come first. All Seton Keough athletes must maintain their academic eligibility to participate in sports. Because of Seton Keough’s stringent standards, its student-athletes are also honored as Academic All-Americans and Heisman Trophy state finalists for the best student-athlete in the state of Maryland.
At the end of each school year, Seton Keough honors its student-athletes. All the achievements from the year are highlighted including the students who received athletic scholarships to college. But the highest honors go to the students who have demonstrated self-less leadership, team spirit, dedication to the school, and academic achievement. In athletics, as in all things at Seton Keough, students are challenged to become women of honor.
