The parent meeting for the 2019-2020 school year will be held Monday, August 12th at 7 p.m. at Duke Auditorium. Please come and learn all about the wonderful things in store for your choral student next year. We have an award-winning program at SMHS with many, many wonderful opportunities for our students. We look forward to meeting you and seeing returning faces.
Are you waiting for your student’s chorus forms to magically appear from your student’s backpack? No need to wait, simply visit our FORMS page for all the forms you’ll need this year.
“Plato once said that music ‘is a more potent instrument than any other for education.’ Now scientists know why. Music, they believe, trains the brain for higher forms of thinking. Researchers at the University of California studied the power of music by observing two groups of preschoolers. One group took piano
lessons and sang daily in chorus. The other did not. After eight months, the musical 3-year-olds were expert puzzlemasters, scoring 80% higher than their playmates did in spatial intelligence - the ability to visualize the world accurately."
