Middle School Choirs Receive Top Ratings!

Carowinds’ Festival of Music is one of the most anticipated and celebrated student performance events in the Carolinas. Middle and high school concert bands, jazz ensembles, orchestras, and choral ensembles are invited to showcase their skills. 

This past weekend, PCA's Middle School Choirs and Bands traveled to Carowinds to participate and had a fantastic trip. This time of fun and fellowship was a blast for the more than one hundred students and chaperones making the trip. The choirs performed beautifully at the festival with both choirs earning high scores.

The 6th Grade Choir earned an excellent rating singing "Hine Ma Tov" and " El Cielo Canta Alegria", and the 7th & 8th Grade Choir earned a superior rating singing "Haida" and "Where the Light Begins".

In addition to the excitement over their incredible performances, students were also thrilled to get the opportunity to spend some time together enjoying the rides at Carowinds Amusement Park.

Congratulations to Dr. Jo Hethcox and all of the middle school choir members for wonderful performances and for representing PCA so well.

Showcasing The Artwork Of Our High School Students

It was a night of fine art as PCA students showed off the best of the best work at the annual High School Art Show. Inside the Student Life Center, art teachers Nicole Seitz and Liz Jarvis created displays on tables, easels and partitions that were artfully set up so that one felt as if they were walking through an exquisite art gallery.

“The high school art show was a wonderful evening filled with artists and gallery-goers, showcasing the hard work and creativity of our students,” said art teacher Nicole Seitz. “The high school arts (Art 1, Art 2, AP Art, Creative Writing / Illustration, and Graphic Design) are focused on advancing skills, imagination and critical thinking. What emerges is art driven by and very personal to each artist's unique voice. Work at this level, laid at the feet of Christ and partnered with our Creator, leaves a powerful impact on all.”
