Each choir class is a high school credit bearing course with two weight offerings. We have regular and Honors level courses. Most Honors level choirs are for junior and senior students, but you must have prior choir experience to obtain this level course. You must join in a regular credit choir before being allowed into Honors.
Choir is a great opportunity to increase your grade point average and class rank. You will earn credit for participating in rehearsals each day. Your grade will be earned by your class work ethic, attendance and participation in concerts.
