Representing CCS with Pride
Representing CCS with Pride
What a special way to celebrate the end of another successful school year! These five talented singers - four from Bandys High School and one from Challenger Early College High School - performed the National Anthem at the Catawba County Schools End-of-Year Employee Celebration. Though they have recently graduated, they graciously returned to share their gifts and represent our schools with pride.
Pictured with Ms. Keisler, Choral Director at Bandys High School, these outstanding young musicians exemplify the talent, leadership, and dedication found throughout Catawba County Schools. They are shining examples of why our students are truly diamonds, helping our school system sparkle both on and off the stage.

In November 2024, the Bandys High School Mixed Choir had the distinct honor of performing at the North Carolina Music Educators Association Conference. This marked a historic milestone, as it was the first time a performing arts group from our school had been featured at this prestigious event. Selected as one of only three high school choirs from across the state, our students delivered a performance that was a true highlight for both our program and our school community.
Congratulations to these outstanding students on this remarkable achievement!
