The CHS Choral Program

           

The CHS Choirs are all award-winning ensembles and we work hard to maintain a high level of performance standards.  Concert Choir and Chora Nova are nationally ranked in the top 10% of High School choirs in the country.  Chamber Singers has competed at National Championships in Washington D.C., Los Angeles, and Chicago taking the top position at those festivals, which makes them one of the top high school choirs in the country. They have also competed in international festivals in Hawaii, Sydney, Los Angeles, and New York receiving gold awards. We could not maintain this high level of achievement if it were not for the support of our parents, guardians, and families!
