James Madison Choir Department

About the Director

Hello!

My name is Mr. Rivard (or Rivard) and I am the Choir Director here at James Madison High School. I am a proud Texas Tech University alumnus and also a NEISD graduate. I am so honored and privileged to begin my teaching career at Madison and am excited to grow and create a stellar program.

Here in the Madison Choral Department, we practice and teach proper vocal technique and musicality. At Madison students have many opportunites to complete/participate in things such as: TMEA Region/All-State process, ICHSA (A Capella competition), UIL Solo and Ensemble, UIL Concert/Evaluation, and Private Voice Lessons. Throughout the many years of history at Madison, we have had many All State Choir members, and have had many UIL Sweepstakes. 

Welcome to a tradition of excellence!

Please feel free to email me at: lrivar@neisd.net if you have any questions!
