Young Junior High, located in Southwest Arlington, is one of the midpoints along the journey among the wonderful Fine Arts programs of the Martin High School Cluster and the Arlington Independent School District.
Young is a two-year school, with an enrollment of approximately 800 students. The Band, Choir, and Orchestra programs at Young all consistently earn Sweepstakes Awards at UIL Contest, and members of each organization garner numerous individual awards at City, Region, and Solo Contests.
Around 300 students are enrolled in the Choir Program, many of whom are also involved in Band, Orchestra, Athletics, AVID, Pre-AP classes, and other student leadership organizations.
The Young Choirs are under the direction of Christi Jones, who is in her 16th year of teaching (15 at Young), and Keith Daniel, her partner in crime for the past seven years. Under their direction, the choirs at Young have performed at the Texas Music Educators Association Convention, the Southwest American Choral Directors Association Convention, the Middle School/Junior High National Convention, and for the State Board of Education. The tradition of choral excellence at Young has been built upon more than 30 years of leadership from wonderful former directors such as Toni Worley, Danny Detrick, and Linda Ice, along with extremely supportive administrators, colleagues, parents, and families!
