DVC is not
just art class.
It’s an immersive creative experience.
Welcome to our Graphic Design and Visual Communications Program at South Shore Technical High School in Hanover, Massachusetts. The South Shore’s premier high school art program. Our shop serves the towns of Abington, Cohasset, Marshfield, Whitman, Hanson, Norwell, Scituate, Hanover, and Rockland.
Whether a middle school student looking for high school options, or a potential transfer as late as 11th grade, DVC at SST is where you’ll find your people, your place and your path.
What makes us different?
Compared to a traditional high school art program, DVC at SST is an immersive creative experience over the course of four years. Students have more time to explore their creative side and build unparalleled skills that will lead to impressive college acceptances or directly to a creative career of their choice.

"One of my favorite things about the shop was the teachers!!! Their ability to connect with each student and cater to each of their strengths and goals is just remarkable. Throughout my 4 years in DVC they taught me not only incredible technical skills that I still use, they taught me how to be a better human being.
