JACKET STRINGS

Excellence in STRINGS... beginning in 2023-2024! SOSD is proud to announce the launch of our new program for beginning strings instruction in partnership with MSU Department of Music and Mississippi State University College of Education! 

Students in 3rd-6th grade can learn to play violin, viola, cello or string bass taught by shared faculty in the MSU Department of Music. Instruction that will begin this school year at West Elementary, Henderson Ward Stewart, Overstreet Elementary and Partnership Middle will grow over the next few years to include a comprehensive strings program for 3rd-12th grade students, enabling a Middle School and High School Orchestra to complement our excellent band and choral programs.

The future of music education is bright for the #JacketFamily! Take a look at this video to meet our new strings faculty and stay tuned for more details about how your rising 3rd-6th grader can participate! #ExpectExcellence
