Outstanding EHS musicians reflect quality of teacher


February 6, 2013 · 9:45 AM

I want to recognize the hard-working, talented students who play their hearts out at the high school football and basketball games. Thank you!

Under the passionate and dedicated direction of Ms. Alley, these students have won annual marching band awards for their spirited performances. Many other marching bands in the region recognize our small but powerful band, eagerly awaiting their annual performances.

Again this year, we have some music students headed to the state level competition this spring due to their hard work and Ms. Alley’s support and motivation.

Excellence requires dedication and commitment. It is not an easy path. The leadership and passion that Ms. Alley demonstrates every day has changed the lives of many of these students. It is more than learning about music, it is learning about life, how to work hard on goals and achieving success. Over and over, I see her helping students learn to believe in themselves and grow up with confidence. I am grateful we have a teacher of this outstanding caliber at our school.
