According to 9News, Chris Mauna has been Head Choral Director at Colorado s Arvada West High School for the last 14 years. “It’s a pretty humbling thing and I’m really proud,” said Maunu. “Any accolades or recognition that comes my way is a reflection of the incredible students I have here.”
Maunu says due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 school year has been one of the more difficult years when it comes to staying connected with students.
They need to feel like they belong to something especially in this period of isolation (and) music provides that.”
