Our main task as Christian is to glorify God and music is one primary tool for accomplishing that goal. Our students have many different opportunities to make music via vocal choirs, handbell choirs, and private lessons. All of our elementary students participate in one of the elementary choirs. Our 7th and 8th graders all participate in junior high music class where they learn music theory and apply that knowledge through singing and ringing in a handbell choir. For our 9th-12th graders, we offer the Ministry Team, a vocal choir with a special emphasis on individual and choral ministry, both in our own ministry and as we travel to other churches and Christian schools. We also offer a handbell choir, which provides for an opportunity for advanced ringing and other unique ministry opportunities. Entrance to Ministry Team and Handbells is through an audition process. Each March, EHCS participates in the Bible Academic and Fine Arts (BAFA) regional competition held at Tri-City Ministries. All music groups (4th grade and up) participate in this competition. We also compete in Art, Speech, Preaching, Academic Testing, Spanish and many other areas. Regional winners (9th-12th) have the opportunity to represent EHCS at a National Competition in Greenville, SC. EHCS offers speech classes as well as high school plays and elementary programs each year, giving our students the opportunity to learn to communicate more effectively. Art instruction is offered in 1st – 12th grades. All students in elementary receive basic instruction in art with more advanced instruction offered as electives in the upper grades.
