ABOUT OUR JUNIOR HONORS CHOIR
JHC welcomes singers in grades 7 through 9, representing schools and communities across York County.
Established in 2002, our Junior Honors Choir is a choral performance and music education program, composed of singers in grades 7 to 9. Singers are selected through audition from York County public and private school districts, homeschools, churches, and voice studios.
In addition to performances in venues across York County, the group has been invited to perform in Heinz Chapel, the Naval Academy Chapel, New Bethel Baptist Church in Washington DC, American Choral Directors Eastern Division and State Conferences, PA Music Educators State Conference and the Music Education Department of Penn State University.
By participating in the Junior Honors Choir, students enrich their own music education and develop leadership skills that they can take to their schools and other areas of their lives.
