Music Programs Overview
SCCS Music Philosophy
At St. Croix Catholic School, we believe that music is essential to educating the whole child. Through performing, creating, and responding, the child receives a fully encompassing musical outlet. Music encourages understanding of the historical and cultural heritage of our local community and the global community. Knowledge of the fundamentals of music leads to a fuller participation in liturgy, worship, and our world.
