Moving to the area within the next year and will have two high schoolers - one very into orchestra and another into sports (football/soccer). We are trying to find a school that is going to benefit both of their interests, and provide a safe learning environment.

Do any of the Columbia Co Highschools (Greenbrier, Lakeside, etc) have an Orchestra program? Not finding much information on each of the schools websites. If not, what do the youth in the area who have this interest do to accomodate this? Any youth orchestras, etc in the area?

Thanks!

Greenbrier High School offers a wide variety of College Prep. and Tech. Prep. classes, but as of the school year of 2008-2009, there will be no difference in graduation requirements or degrees.
There are also many advanced placement (AP) courses offered, including the following (along with student-given abbreviations):
  • AP Biology ("AP Bio")
  • AP Calculus ("AP Calc")
  • AP Chemistry ("AP Chem")
  • AP Environmental Science ("AP Environment," "APES," or "AP Enviro")
  • AP European History ("AP Euro")
  • AP French
  • AP Government ("AP Civics" or "AP Go Po")
  • AP Language ("AP Lit")
  • AP Literature ("AP Lit" note: both are called "AP Lit" by students, but AP Language is an 11th grade course while AP Literature is a 12th grade course; students draw little distinguishment between the classes beyond that)
  • AP Physics
  • AP Psychology ("AP Psych")
  • AP Spanish (note: AP Spanish is the smallest class the school offers, with only 14 students signed up for the 2008-2009 school year)
  • AP Statistics ("AP Stat")
  • AP Studio Art ("AP Art")
  • AP U.S. History ("APUSH" note: pronounced as "a-push" without individual pronunciation of the letters)
  • AP World History ("AP World" or "WHAP: World History AP" note: this is the newest class offered by Greenbrier High School and will be instituted in the 2008-2009 school year. The class was designed specifically for future sophomores because of the increasing need for AP classes to get into Georgia's universities, most of which require two AP courses for admittance.)

I suggest contacting Columbia County Performing Arts and Education Center and see if they can answer your question on "other" programs. They hold their concerts at West Acres Baptist Church
555 Gibbs Road Evans, Georgia 30809
