Morris Jeff Community School

At Morris Jeff, the students develop an understanding of the performing arts through creating and presenting their music in ways that engage and convey feelings, experiences, and ideas. Morris Jeff's elementary, middle, and high school music programs stimulate students' imaginations, challenge perceptions, and develop creative and analytical skills. Our arts programming encourages students to understand the arts in context and the cultural histories of arts. This GND supports our music programs.
