The Music Department has a Mission:

We will promote the acceptance and adoption of the Pennsylvania Standards for Dance, Music, Theatre and Visual Arts in general and music in particular.

We will give all students an opportunity to access the experiences necessary to realize and surpass the national and state standards.

We will develop and produce new and innovative ways to give our students, parents and all other internal and external clients musical skills and knowledge in interactive and participatory ways.

We will continue to promote and foster client support groups and arts advocacy organizations.

We will continue to develop and produce outreach programs, business, partnership programs and joint ventures with local agencies and organizations in the arts, in education and in business.

We will continue to be sensitive to the concerns of our diverse community and apply that sensitivity in all aspects of program development.
