Drama is incorporated into many aspects of the school's English and arts offerings. Acting, student directing, stage design and lighting are all areas where students with an interest in the performing arts may gain experience. Grier's drama class prepares short skits which are performed during morning assemblies throughout the school year. These skits, often based on student-produced scripts, help to liven the start of the school day.

The students become part of a production, whether as actors or crew and, therefore, learn the rehearsal and performance process.
