A Chorus of Excellence: 10 Ladue Schools Students Selected for All-State Choir
Ladue Schools is proud to recognize 10 fourth- and fifth-grade students who were selected to perform with the Missouri All-State Children’s Choir at the 88th Annual Missouri Music Educators Association Conference in Osage Beach, Missouri on January 27, 2026.
Only 135 students statewide earned this honor, with about 20 from the St. Louis area, making Ladue Schools’ strong representation especially notable.
Selected students include Leo Crecelius (Old Bonhomme); Henry Arand (not pictured), Mila Green, and Ariya Hosseini (Reed); Parker Talbott and Ella White (Spoede); and Arden Connor, Lila Rajagopal, Shreya Shah, and Hazel Vaughn (Ladue Fifth Grade Center).
The district extends sincere thanks to music educators Leah Alrutz, Ruthie Grollman, Jessica Nutt, Sarah Schwartz, and Katie Solomon for their support of these young musicians.
Congratulations to our All-State singers for representing Ladue Schools with talent and pride.
