Student Opportunities
- How Do You Measure a Year?
525,600 minutes ago, the Cedarburg High School principal’s voice was heard over the announcements informing the students that school would be closed due to the pandemic. At the time, most of them thought this would be a short-term closure. Then began the cancellations and the world essentially “shut down.” One year later, the Cedarburg High School Acapella Choir recorded this tune as their final exam. This song embodies pain and sadness but also incredible joy and anticipation for the future.

With no school musical and nor formal concerts held at Cedarburg High School this year, the School Choir recently took to the airwaves on the Cedarburg Public Library’s Internet Radio Station with their "Songs of Love and Luck" celebrating Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day.
