About Cedar Creek Chorus

At Cedar Creek Middle School, our unwavering commitment is to provide students with a comprehensive educational experience that addresses their academic, emotional, and social growth. Through innovative curriculum adaptations, dynamic teaching methodologies, engagement in authentic real-world projects, and the establishment of a safe and nurturing environment, we ensure every student thrives.

Our mission is clear: to Challenge, Cultivate, and Motivate all Students. By embracing this mission, we inspire excellence in every aspect of our students' development.

Nestled in Youngsville, NC, Cedar Creek Middle School is proud to feature a revitalized choral program under the dedicated leadership of Mr. Ted Willis. Over the past 25 years, the choral program has undergone significant transformation. In 2018, Mr. Willis took the helm with a resolute determination to rebuild the program to its rightful stature.

Our students' accomplishments resonate with our commitment to excellence. They have showcased their talent through participation in the Franklin County Schools' All-County Chorus and the prestigious NC Honors Chorus. They have graced performances before the Franklin County Schools' superintendent and esteemed stakeholders. Notably, their remarkable talent earned them first place in competitions held at Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens.

The ongoing pandemic posed challenges for arts programs across the board, and our CCMS choral program was no exception. Today, we stand poised to rebuild and reinvigorate. We invite you to accompany us on this inspiring journey as we forge ahead. Consider joining us in our mission by supporting our choir through a donation?
