Chorus News

We are happy and proud to announce that the Mary Persons HS Intermediate/Advanced Women's Chorus has been invited to perform at the 2021 GMEA State In-Service Conference in Athens this coming January. This invitation is one of the most prestigious honors for a Chorus in Georgia. This has been a goal of Choral Director, Mr. Hernandez for many years. We are so proud of the work that the students have put in to earn such an opportunity. Many thanks to the 2020 Senior Women who were very much a part of making this happen. Now here's to hoping the conference will occur and students can safely sing.
