Students celebrating after a successful Just for You Music Program performance

Our Shepherd School students provide a variety of community engagement activities in the Greater Houston Area, and many initiate their own projects. In lieu of the Shepherd Society's annual Family Concert, students created short video demonstrations of their instruments under the guidance of Rachel Buchman, head of the Young Children’s Division of the Michael P. Hammond Preparatory Program. The Shepherd School supports three major initiatives listed below.
