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
While everyone is preparing for distance learning, what defines classroom basics takes on new meaning. For music classes, it is accessible music that students can play in small and large ensembles.
Sheet music and small ensemble collections are the "books" for our students and are considered "classroom basics" which are essential to continue providing a quality music education.
With the continued threat of quarantine and potential full-time distance learning looming large in our future, it is a good idea to continue building our collection of music for small groups.
Anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated, and will be used for many years to come - not just during a pandemic.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
