GIS, CJH send 27 students to Elementary School All-County Music Festival


The Goshen Intermediate School and C.J. Hooker Middle School music departments had 27 students accepted into this year’s Elementary School All-County Music Festival held on April 24, 26 and 27 at Newburgh Free Academy.

In order to be chosen for this honor, each student prepared an audition piece and performed before a judge in January. It is a high accomplishment to be chosen for All-County and we are extremely proud of our students!
