V. Sue Cleveland High School Concert Choir

The V. Sue Cleveland High School Concert Choir includes 40 select ninth through twelfth-grade students with a minimum of one year of choral experience. The CHS Choral Department was founded in 2009, the same year that the school opened its doors to the public. The department has grown to four choirs in the past five years, which now include Concert Choir, Bella Voce (Advanced Women’s Choir), Mixed Choir, and Electric Blue Show Choir. Choral members take pride in themselves in being well-rounded individuals. Its membership includes members of the National Junior Society and participants in The Athletic Department. They also take advantage of multiple enrollment of music classes. In addition, many students are involved in their community, local church music, and outreach ministries.
