Mission Statement
Our mission is to educate students, in cooperation with the family and community, to have the
knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to achieve their potential as socially responsible, lifelong learners in a diverse and changing society.
Music is an integral part of a comprehensive education. It enables all students to discover and develop their artistic potential through musical experiences in listening, performing, analyzing, moving and creating. Musical experiences enhance the student's quality of life through heightened aesthetic awareness, healthy social relationships and fun! Music incorporates
understanding from all disciplines and leads to an improved self-concept, a broader cultural awareness, and a development of life-long skills.
