It is with immense pride that we recognize Helai Rutan, LRHS Chamber Choir Director along with Jamieson Carr, Director of the LRHS Percussion Ensemble, and all of their students, for being selected to perform at our statewide conference. Even more remarkable is the fact that this school opened during COVID while students were in distance learning yet these directors and the entire department have built a large and high quality program against so many obstacles. We are so proud to showcase the excellent talent and teaching that is happening every day in LCPS. I hope you enjoy today’s performance!
