(La Porte, IN) - The La Porte High School choir program has earned statewide recognition.

The program is just one of 14 high school choir programs in the state to receive the Indiana State School Music Association’s All-Music Award for the 2025-26 school year.  ISSMA presented the music program with a commemorative banner marking the achievement.

To qualify, choirs have to earn gold ratings across three separate ISSMA contests during the school year:  State Solo and Ensemble, Jazz and Organizational.

All three of the school’s choirs, the Beginning Treble Chorus, Treble Chorale and Chorale, earned gold ratings for both performance and sight reading at an ISSMA contest in April

“I’m really proud of my students for this achievement and I give them all the credit,” said Choir Director Tom Coe.
