New in 2024-25: Florida Seal of Fine Arts Diploma Designation

The Florida Seal of Fine Arts Diploma Designation has been newly added by the Florida Department of Education.

This diploma designation has been established to recognize high school graduates who have met exemplary benchmarks in fine arts coursework and to encourage students to develop an exemplary level of proficiency in the performing or visual arts. This designation is signified by the award of a seal on a standard high school diploma. 

The criteria for eligibility include:

• Earning a standard high school diploma
• Completing at least three year-long courses in dance, music, theater, or visual arts with a grade of "A" or higher in each course
• Completing at least two of a list of five requirements (more information provided in the link below)
