RIO HONDO, TX—After recently starting choir classes at the elementary level, Rio Hondo ISD launched its middle school choir program at the start of the 2023-2024 school year.
According to Rio Hondo ISD Superintendent Raul J. Treviño, the district started its choir program due to a large student interest in singing.
The current Rio Hondo Middle School choir students will also be the first in the district’s history to compete in the University Interscholastic League (UIL) for Choir.
“We want to offer students more programs to express their talents and further expand their studies at Rio Hondo ISD,” Superintendent Treviño said. “We have a lot of talent here, and we are excited to support our choir team as they compete in their first UIL season.”
As part of the district’s goal to expand fine arts in the district, last school year, Rio Hondo Elementary also initiated a Folklorico dance group, which is set to eventually expand into the middle school level.
“We plan to incorporate even more programs that feed into our middle school and high school, including eventually adding a mariachi program as well,” Superintendent Treviño said.
