In McKinley Choirs, we seek to:

Nurture and inspire the personal growth of students by developing excellent musicianship, creating meaningful musical experiences, building relationships, and empowering students to become lifelong musicians.

To grow towards our mission, we will:

• Build community and a safe space for all members of an ensemble to grow and explore their voices.
• Nurture and inspire all children by fostering their personal growth through music, regardless of race, color, religion, gender expression, national origin, disability, or sexual orientation.
• Establish a lifelong relationship with music of various genres, cultural origins, and world languages.
• Not only acquire and improve skills in music education and vocal performance, but also build self-confidence, empathy, determination, teamwork, and persistence.
• Develop students' lifelong passion for and understanding of music through music literacy, solo and small ensemble opportunities, large ensemble performances, and high artistic standards.
