Help us cover end-of-year needs!

GPHS has new furniture, new instruments, and other materials, but the Music Department still has some end-of-year expenses and needs that the HCPSS Capital Budget does not cover.

Please help cover these costs in any way that you can. In 2024-2025 we will have a full-fledge Patron program with incentives for you!

Your end-of-year donation will help pay for:

• Student uniform costs

• Choir accompanist

• Storage for items, both perishable and musical equipment

• Music for 2024-2025
