Mission.
Mission.
In the GMHS Choral Department we believe that singing together can be a vital force for culturally responsive teaching and learning, one that connects us with each other, builds empathy, and inspires joy. Our mission is to enrich and inspire a broad community through music.
Vision.
We believe that the choral field and the act of singing as a community can have transformative effects on society. Therefore, we want to help our students build a lifelong connection to singing and other forms of artistic expression. We aspire toward a collaborative choral community that models the world we wish to see.
