congratulatiions jps choir students!

We are so proud to share that TWENTY-ONE (21) students from the John P. Stevens High School Choir program have been accepted into the NJ All-State Choir!

More than 900 students from more than 70 high schools across NJ auditioned for membership in this prestigious ensemble--It was extraordinarily competitive!

For many schools, it is a big deal to have 2 or 3 students accepted. The fact that we have Twenty-One (21) Students accepted is a true testament to their hard work and talent!
