Your Fine Arts Support Makes a Difference! 

The Barrington High School Fine Art Boosters, aka BHS FAB, is a dedicated community of parents and alumni rallying behind the arts at Barrington High School. Over the years, we’ve stepped in to fund everything from student scholarships and performance trips to uniforms, specialized gear, and visiting artists. Our support spans every corner of BHS Fine Arts, including music, theater, dance, TV production, and the visual arts. 

We raise funds to give students a $100 stipends for private music lessons and to hook our amazing teachers up with classroom materials not covered by the school budget. Some of our favorite past projects include buying new cymbals for the band, a high-end camera lens for BHS-TV, hosting an a cappella workshop with Deke Sharon for choir, and bringing in The Giordano Dance Chicago Residency and performances for Multicultural Week! 

FAB donations have benefited every area of the Fine Arts at BHS, including photography, digital photography, drawing/painting, graphic arts, printmaking, BHS TV, ceramics, jewelry, sculpture, woodworking, dance, band, choir, orchestra, and theater. 

We are profoundly grateful for the incredible generosity of our sponsors, donors, and community members. It is entirely because of your support that the BHS Fine Art Boosters can proudly offer life-changing scholarship opportunities to our students. Your kindness ensures these vibrant programs continue to thrive and inspire.

Every role plays a vital part in our success, and you can choose the exact level of involvement that is right for you. Select your path below to partner with us, become a booster, or join as an active member today!
