This site exists to recognize the accomplishments of the Graduates of the San Diego Children's Choir and to provide a communication link to help them continue their friendships - even though they may be located at various colleges or careers throughout the country.

Graduation from the Choir occurs from the top level Youth Choir after the chorister's senior year in high school. Normally, the Youth Choir only accepts choristers from the lower level Choirs.
