High School Choral Festival
Due to the increased concerns over the spread of COVID-19 and its contagious variants, no choral festival will be held in 2021-2022. While disappointed, we remain committed to protecting those students that we serve daily. We continue to evaluate our options as we receive directions from experts and from the school boards at our individual districts.
