My Students

Our school is a public four-year high school with a wide range of students from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds. Approximately 35-40% of our student body participates in fine arts on some level. Offering our music students the chance to succeed is my top priority. We strive daily to make opportunities available for our high school students to further their musical skills and expand their horizons.

Students attending our school have earned recognition at the district, state, regional, and national levels.

We have alumni working on Broadway, teaching college and public school music, and performing as professionals all over the world. Our music department has a 100+ year history of excellence, and we try every day to live up to that legacy. We offer jazz band, two levels of string orchestra, and concert band, pep band, and marching band. We also have strong choral, guitar, drama, and fine arts programs.

My Project

We have an ever-expanding collection of duet books in our string orchestra library. This will complete a large portion of that collection.

Having access to these wonderful duet books will be a game changer for our orchestra students.

I'm also requesting funds for more backup black and white dress shirts since that is our dress requirement for concerts. Many students are not able to acquire the necessary clothing prior to a performance and having a set of them on the rack in my classroom is a huge help.

The drill set is to replace the 20+ year old set I have been using (they finally died and there are no replacement batteries available).
