CHORAL DEPARTMENT
 
Skills learned through the discipline of music can have a positive effect on a student's life. The challenges met, the communication skills needed, and the cognitive skills developed will provide the student with not only a lesson, but a life skill. 
 
A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What one can be, one must be. --Abraham Moslow

The recepient or receipents are voted on by the Choir Booster Club Officers and announced at the conclusion of the spring concert. In 2000-2001 the Booster Club established three academic music scholarships to three graduating seniors and one all-state choir camp scholarship to be awarded to a junior to be used that summer following the junior year who has been in choir for three years and has also been active in previous competitions as an FHS choir member.
