What Our Teachers Say
Some kind words from our educators
The CHS Music Department recently received generous support from the Debbi Grogan Memorial Fund, which contributed funds toward the purchase of much-needed new band instruments including trumpets, trombones, and flutes. This vital support helps ensure that all students have access to quality equipment, enhancing both their musical experience and performance opportunities. The contribution will not only improve the current program but also support its long-term growth, enabling the department to continue fostering a strong, inclusive music education as the program grows.
