HILLCREST SCHOOL SONG
This school is your school, this school is my school,
From Kindergarten to the old Sixth graders.
From the busy office to the Hillcrest teachers,
This school was made for you and me!
As I was walking down the crowded hallway,
I saw above me the painted ceilings.
I heard around me the silent hallways.
This school was made for you and me!
This school is your school, this school is my school,
From Kindergarten to the old Sixth graders.
From the noisy gym class to the art creators,
This school was made for you and me!
I've roamed the hallways and followed the footsteps
of my homeroom teacher to the classroom doorway.
And all around me, my classmates chanted:
THIS SCHOOL WAS MADE FOR YOU AND ME!
This school is your school, this school is my school,
From Kindergarten to the old Sixth graders.
From the busy office to the Hillcrest teachers,
This school was made for you and me!
This school is your school, this school is my school,
From Kindergarten to the old Sixth graders.
From the busy office to the Hillcrest teachers,
This school was made for you and me!
As I was walking down the crowded hallway,
I saw above me the painted ceilings.
I heard around me the silent hallways.
This school was made for you and me!
This school is your school, this school is my school,
From Kindergarten to the old Sixth graders.
From the noisy gym class to the art creators,
This school was made for you and me!
I've roamed the hallways and followed the footsteps
of my homeroom teacher to the classroom doorway.
And all around me, my classmates chanted:
THIS SCHOOL WAS MADE FOR YOU AND ME!
This school is your school, this school is my school,
From Kindergarten to the old Sixth graders.
From the busy office to the Hillcrest teachers,
This school was made for you and me!
Council Rock Music Philosophy
The primary purpose of the Council Rock music curriculum is to provide and maintain a program of music education that will benefit all students. Individual abilities, interests, and needs are met through the availability of classroom general music, instrumental instruction, vocal instruction, performing groups, and through special course offerings. Continuing efforts are made to discover aptitudes and encourage development of those abilities. Emphasis on the fundamentals of music is stressed through a conceptual approach which utilizes study, composition, analysis, listening, and performance of a selected music literature. Representative repertoire will include music of a wide range of periods, styles, cultures, forms, composers, and technology.
