All participating students were honored by their schools for their leadership and contributions - an inspiring group of young voices shaping the future.

On Saturday, January 24, the South Jersey Choral Directors Association hosted its 67th Annual All South Jersey Choral Festival, which is an event that brings together some of the most talented student vocalists in the region.
Out of hundreds of students who auditioned, only a select few were chosen—and we are proud to share that Clayton School District was represented by Briseis Hansen (Junior) and Nolan Ward (8th Grade)!
👏 Congratulations to both students on this outstanding achievement and a beautiful performance!
We also extend our appreciation to Clayton Choir Director Jennifer Weir, who not only supports our students but also serves as the All South Jersey Senior High Rehearsal Manager for SJCDA.
