West Hills High School Guitar/Orchestra
Mission Statement
Our mission is to educate students, in cooperation with the family and community, to have the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to achieve their potential as socially responsible, lifelong learners in a diverse and changing society.
Music is an integral part of a comprehensive education. It enables all students to discover and develop their artistic potential through musical experiences in listening, performing, analyzing, and creating. Musical experiences enhance the student's quality of life through heightened aesthetic awareness, healthy social relationships and fun! Music incorporates understanding from all disciplines and leads to an improved self-concept, a broader cultural awareness, and a development of life-long skills.
How this applies to the West Hills Way
The West Hills High School Guitar/String Orchestra Program provides an opportunity for students to develop an appreciation for music and encourages the skills and discipline necessary for achieving musical success throughout a lifetime of experiences. Students learn the importance of a cooperative team effort while working with fellow members to accomplish the shared goals of the Guitar/ String Orchestra Program.
