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
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. : Archives - Awards & Honors : Classroom Rules and Grading : Fund Raising, Uniforms, and Spring Trip : Letter Jackets Janwin Overstreet-Goode, Director

The recepient or receipents are voted on by the Choir Booster Club Officers and announced at the conclusion of the spring concert.
