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 level.

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

Each year at our final concert, our Band and Orchestra students are awarded varsity letters that they have had the opportunity to earn throughout the year.

We have a system in place through which our music students can earn point towards lettering and our final performance in May is when these awards are presented.

The cost of these awards adds up. When our students are successful, we have to give out more awards - which they don't need to worry about. In the past we have been able to budget for these items, but this year we could use some help making this happen.
