We're also very grateful to our two fantastic chaperones, Connie Dobson and Jenee McClenathen for all of their help this weekend!
We wanted to share some incredibly exciting All-State numbers with you!
6,000+ students auditioned for the Georgia All-State Chorus this year
1,600 middle & high school students made it through the 2 auditions to be selected for 3 middle school and 4 high school choirs
34 of those were from Chestatee Academy and Chestatee High!
Approx. 40 students from all over the state were honored this year as “5-year” All-Staters, meaning they’ve made it every possible year since middle school
2 of those were from CHS! (Connor McClenathen & Elijah Peters)
Only 1 of those 40 students has the possibility of winning a $1,000 scholarship from the Georgia chapter of the ACDA (American Choral Directors Association)
This year, our own Connor McClenathan was the WINNER of the $1,000 scholarship!!!
