Connersville Middle School Encore Team
OUR TEAM
The Encore team is composed of Physical Education, Health, Choir, Band, General Music, Family and Consumer Science (FACS), and Visual Arts. These classes complement core classes in teaching Math, English, Science, and social issues.
Encore classes push students to use higher-order thinking skills while applying their knowledge to real life situations. Classes give students the freedom to explore, express themselves, and achieve goals.
Students say that one of their favorite things about middle school is the variety of Encore classes that are available to them.
OUR STUDENTS
"Encore classes are amazing! They give students encouragement to pursue music careers that they otherwise might not know how to get started in, and provide plenty of background knowldge for real world problems. The Encore classes also help students determine what career they would enjoy most."
Azera Palmer, class of 2025
"The encore classes help us learn stuff that we wouldn't usually learn in core classes. They help spark our imagination and instrests, which is what school should do."
Kaitlyn Ripberger, class of 2025
"What I enjoy about Band and Choir are they help me learn new things like how to play the flute, and how to sing. They also teach you that in music you use both sides of your brain when you start learning music. The teachers are also really nice, and are awesome at their jobs."
Tricia Jordan, class of 2026
