Welcome Ms. Peterson!

SMS Choir Students & Parents:

My good friend and colleague, Ms. Elise Peterson, has been named the new director of choirs at Shawnee Mission South!

For the past two years Ms. Peterson has served as choral director at Pioneer Trail Jr. High in Olathe. I had the opportunity to hear her choir last fall and they were one of the best middle school choirs I've heard. Before PTJH she was director of choirs at Hays High School. I heard the Hays High Chamber Choir at KMEA under Ms Peterson's direction and they were outstanding!

Ms. Peterson has served as chair of the Kansas All-State Choir and serves with me on the board of the Kansas Choral Directors Association.

Most important Ms. Peterson has a passion for making meaningful music and having fun while doing it!

I am excited for Ms. Peterson because she gets to work with the amazing singers and parents at SMS. But, I'm even more excited for you--Ms. Peterson is among the best choral directors Kansas has to offer. The tradition of AWESOME singing at SMS will not skip a beat under the leadership of Ms. Elise Peterson!

Please stay tuned for information about a meet and greet event where I will be able to introduce you to Ms. Peterson!

GET EXCITED!!

Peace.
