My Students

Nestled in the hills of West Virginia, our school is a recognized state and national leader. A true reflection of the "melting pot," we have a highly diverse student body representing a wide variety of American culture. A significant portion of our population is of international origin. We are home to numerous National Merit Scholars and our students are recruited by some of the most prestigious colleges and universities in the nation. Unfortunately, while our Academic and Instrumental Music programs flourished, Vocal Music struggled to find its footing.

The Choral Music program is now growing into its potential!

In addition to a full Concert Choir, the program also supports two smaller ensembles with numerous students participating in local, regional and state events. Our membership includes students from Special Needs to Advanced Placement scholars. Enrollment is expected to double within the year and continue to expand in years thereafter. The future is bright, promising to provide students with an exceptional music experience.

My Project

Many of our students have been selected to perform this spring in county, regional and state honor programs as a result of their hard work and achievement. The events REQUIRE students to have school choir robes.

We currently have NO serviceable choir robes for students.

The last time robes were purchased was in 1975...over forty years ago. We are growing rapidly and anticipate our membership will double within the next year. With proper care and maintenance, new robes would clothe our organization for the next 15-20 years.

Our school is the state academic leader. The excellence of our Instrumental Music program is legendary. Please help our Vocal Music students achieve the same levels of distinction!
