Lake Oswego High School Choirs is an organization based upon pride, achievement, and unity. The choirs serve the community and perform a wide variety of music, with special focus on each individual musician and his or her musical growth. The department focuses on nurturing young musicians in mind, body, spirit, and voice.  ENTER AS INDIVIDUALS. WORK AS A UNIT. LEAVE AS A FAMILY.
