Student Assessment Preparation - CLICK HERE to get up to date information on how to prepare for all upcoming Statewide Assessments.

All 9th through 12th grade students will participate in End of Course (EOC) Exams, District Finals, and Statewide Assessments during the official testing window from May 18 through May 26. Students and families are encouraged to review the full testing schedule in advance.

Students will take each exam according to their regular class period and current course schedule. For example, if a student has English during 1st period, they will take the English exam (Statewide Assessment and/or final exam) during 1st period with their classroom teacher on the scheduled testing day. In general, students should expect to follow their normal class periods and test with their subject‑area teachers.

Please note that students will not be permitted to check out after testing blocks, as required instruction and learning activities will continue after exams and throughout the remainder of the school year. Attendance is expected for the full school day.

Students who receive testing accommodations will be provided with additional information if their testing location or schedule differs from their traditional class period.

This performance invites you into a world where every voice matters. Through music that spans history, culture, emotion, and modern expression, our students bring life to stories of courage, connection, and creativity. From the echoes of past struggles to the vibrant rhythms of today, each piece reminds us that even in challenging times, the human spirit continues to speak, sing, and rise.

Our young musicians have worked tirelessly to prepare this program—not just learning the music, but exploring what it means to listen, to empathize, and to lift one another up. Voices Unbroken is more than a concert; it’s a celebration of resilience, identity, and the unshakable belief that every voice deserves to be heard.

Sit back, open your hearts, and enjoy the journey.
