Three Hutchison Seniors Selected to All-Southwest Honor Choir
Sarah Austin '17, Madyson Bolton '18, and Becket Monaghan '19 have been selected to perform with the prestigious 2016 All-Southwest Senior High Honor Choir.
Three Hutchison girls recently earned honors through the choral auditions of the West Tennessee Vocal Music Educators Association (WTVMEA) and were selected to perform with the prestigious All-Southwest Senior High Honor Choir. They have spent countless hours practicing musical selections and improving their skills in preparation for auditions under the guidance of Hutchison faculty member and choir director Leiza Collins. They competed against hundreds of other students from across West Tennessee for their placements.
Senior Sarah Austin was selected to 6th-Chair Soprano II. Madyson Bolton '18 was named 12th-Chair Soprano II, and Becket Monaghan '19 was selected to 14th-Chair Alto I.
Sarah reflected on her time working with Ms. Collins and her dedication to help the girls succeed when she said, "I appreciate that Ms. Collins pushes us to practice a lot more on difficult sections because it has helped me to become more confident in many ways."
We are so proud of our girls' hard work, determination, and passion for music. Congratulations!

Hutchison’s Reggio Emilia-inspired curriculum weaves critical skills development throughout the school day. As girls progress to the next grade and beyond, they revisit the same traits that they first learned in Early Childhood.
Congratulations to the 18 middle and upper school girls who won Scholastic Writing Awards in the recent Alliance for Young Artists & Writers competition!
It’s a special memory for Gabrielle Arkle ’12. When she was younger, she visited the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Florida. The museum features more than 150 restored aircraft representing the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard aviation.
If there’s one thing Elizabeth Blankenship-Singh ’08 knows about, it’s pivoting. It’s something she has done successfully several times and something she believes Hutchison prepared her well for.
The best coaches teach you lessons that last long after the final buzzer. Ten alumnae hope to impart what they learned through Hutchison athletics by coaching girls in sports such as soccer, basketball, lacrosse, and volleyball.
