Greetings From The 2025 NCEHC Chair

Hi friends! My name is Sarah Gray and I have the honor of serving as the NCEHC chair! I currently teach choral music at Wesleyan Christian Academy in High Point after spending the first three years of my career teaching in Myrtle Beach, SC. I have a B.A. in Music Education from Southern Wesleyan University (‘15) and a Master of School Administration degree through Appalachian State University (’23). My experiences as a student in NC Honors Chorus inspired my career as a music educator and I am thrilled to have a small part in those experiences for many other students!

If I can be of any assistance at all, please feel free to contact me at [email protected]!

Our NCEHC co-chair for 2023-2024 is Janae Copeland. Janae has been a music educator in NC for 25 years and currently serves as the K-5 music specialist at Meadowlark Elementary in Winston-Salem, NC. She earned her BM in Music Education in 1999 and her MM in Music Education in 2006, both from East Carolina University. She received her National Board for Professional Teaching Standards certification in 2008 and completed all levels of Orff-Schulwerk certification at Appalachian State University in 2017. She is the proud wife to Bryant, who had also been a music educator and school leader in NC for 25 years, and proud mom to her daughters, Jayda, Brynn, and Clark, who also happen to be her favorite musicians and dancers. NC Honors Chorus has always been one of the most special musical experiences for her each year and she is honored to get to serve the amazing teachers and students who make it such a memorable event.
