About The Directors About The Voice Teachers
The Spring High Choral
Department consists of approximately 300 students in nine auditioned performing choirs:
Chorale, Chamber Choir, A Cappella Women, Concert Men, Concert Mixed, Concert
Women, Intermediate Women, Chorale Men and Chorale Women. The choral department
has enjoyed success at all University Interscholastic League
Concert/Sight-Reading competitions as well as individually at UIL Solo and
Ensemble contests. The Spring Chorale has won every in-state and out-of-state
competition in which it has competed since 1998 and the other ensembles have
been just as successful.
In 2007-2008 seventy-three of the 290 students in the choral program were enrolled in the Spring ISD Music Enrichment Program, allowing them the opportunity to study private voice during the school day with one of the four voice teachers on staff. During the past ten years, an average of 25 students per year, have earned membership in the Region IX All-Region choir. Since 1995, Spring High School has placed 49 singers in the Texas All-State Choirs.
Students in the choral program pride themselves in being well-rounded
individuals. In 2007-2008 its membership includes 40+ members of the National
Honor Society; 21 Academic Excellence recipients; participants in men's
baseball, basketball, football, track and soccer; participants
in women's basketball, golf, softball, soccer, tennis and track; students actively
involvement in speech and debate with over 90 percent of the cast from the
all-school musical "Honk" among it's ranks; several members of
the award winning Spring High School band; a cheerleader; members of PALS, the
yearbook, journalism and literary magazine staffs; and the student council. In
addition, many students are involved in their community, local church music and
youth programs and outreach ministries. Last year’s graduating class had several seniors who were seriously interested in pursuing a degree in music
education, vocal performance, musical theater or music business.
Spring Independent School District
Spring High School is one of three high schools
in the Spring Independent School District, which educates over 37,000 students. Located 20 miles north of downtown Houston in an urban area of
Harris County, Spring ISD has been a recognized school district by the Texas
Education Agency several times since 1999.
The Board of Trustees, which has been honored as
one of the most outstanding school boards in Texas, provides leadership and
direction for the District as it strives to achieve its principal goal of
developing students who excel academically, reason and solve problems
rationally, and act responsibly by displaying good character and citizenship.
Spring High School, under the leadership of
Principal Gloria Marshall, has been named a U.S. Department of Education
National Blue Ribbon School, a Drug-Free School and a Texas Exemplary School.
This year we welcome Mrs. Donna Ullrick as the new principal of Spring High School.
Spring High takes pride in both the academic and extracurricular successes of
its students and faculty members. The professional atmosphere and mutual respect
between administrators and teachers, which has been developed and promoted by
Marshall, has fostered a unique climate of learning for the 3,700 students
enrolled at Spring High School.
