Walden Grove High School is located in Sahuarita, Arizona, and opened in August of 2011. Today, the choral and theatre programs together comprise over 120 students in five performing ensembles. Each shares the core objective to elicit creative self- expression, critical thinking, and artistry in support of a wider mission to create visible connections to the campus and Southern Arizona community. Alumni of the WGHS performing arts programs are pursuing performance and education in classrooms and on stages across the country. Thank you for your interest in the choral and theatre programs!
Sincerely, Benjamin Lebovitz, director |
