Why do so many take more classes than needed in HS?

I don’t see any that specifically require art.

California - “ Visual and Performing Arts (dance, drama or theater, music, or visual art)”

South Dakota - for residents only - “ One year of fine arts* … - art, theatre or music (appreciation, analysis, or performance.) ”

As quoted, those specifically do require art (inclusive of performing as well as visual art).
