The Grosse Pointe South Difference
Why it matters.
Our National Award-winning choir program offers our students an opportunity to participate in a performing arts program that teaches so much more than singing and dancing. GP South Choir participants have become part of a legacy of excellence that is the pride of our school and our community.
A national award-winning program does not occur overnight. It is only possible because of years and decades of dedicated directors, choreographers, musicians, booster members, community partners and most importantly our talented students.
The arts are a vital part of a well-rounded education. A program of this calibre can only exist because of the generous support of our Choir Boosters, parents and Community Partners who share their talents and treasure to help support it.

I’m working towards one day becoming a television comedy writer and producer, and have the choir program to thank for giving me the blind confidence to chase after this dream. Choir created a space for me to be loud and outgoing and make jokes (which I sometimes did in the middle of rehearsal, sorry @MrPratt & @Andy), and allow me to really come into myself during a time in life that is normally riddled with insecurity and self doubt. I fell in love with entertainment and the work that goes into building a production, which led to where I am now
