61 Students Selected to 2025 All State Honor Choir

A record-breaking 61 SOCSD students were selected as members of the 2025 All State Honor Choir by the Mississippi chapter of the American Choral Director's Association. Students in Yellow Jacket 6th-12th grade choirs who chose to participate prepared two audition pieces and completed a sightreading exercise to be evaluated anonymously by judges.

The number of SOCSD students earning a spot in the Honor Choir is one of the highest accepted by a single district in the state. At 61 – the most ever for Yellow Jacket choirs – participation in the 2025 Honor Choir exceeded last year's total of 57.
