Welcome to the North Canyon High School Choral Department. North Canyon High School serving grades 9-12, is located in Phoenix, Arizona. It is one of five high schools in the Paradise Valley Unified School District. North Canyon currently has 5 choirs:

Women's/Men's Choir
Advanced Women's Choir
Women's Show Choir

Approximately 140 students are involved in the choir program. Choir is also included as part of the International Baccalaureate curriculum at North Canyon. The NCHS Choir is an active organization on campus. Our choirs also participate in many outside events throughout the year including local and national festivals, the NAU Jazz and Madrigal Festival, school and community concerts as well as out of state tours. The choirs consistently receive high marks for their performances. Many of our students are selected to participate in Arizona Regional and All-State events and are actively involved in church and community music groups.

A recent study by Americans for the Arts and the National School Boards Association found that young people who consistently participate in comprehensive, sequential, and rigorous arts programs are:

>Four Times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement.
>Four TImes more likely to participate in a math and science fair.
>Three Times more likely to win an award for school attendance.
>Four Times more likely to win an award for writing an essay or poem.
>Three Times more likely to be elected to class office.
