ARCHBISHOP CURLEY HIGH SCHOOL CHOIR
THE ARCHBISHOP CURLEY HIGH SCHOOL CHOIRS WELCOME YOU
WHO WE ARE
Archbishop Curley High School is a Roman Catholic college preparatory high school located in northeast Baltimore City, almost directly adjacent to I-95. The school was founded in 1961 and is owned by the Archdiocese of Baltimore and, since its founding, has been operated by the Conventual Franciscan Friars. The student body is comprised of approximately 550 male students in grades 9 through 12.
​
The Curley Choral Program was begun in 1996 with four students, experienced phenomenal growth and has for many years included well over 140 students. On the average, only 3-4% of students enrolled in the Curley Choral Program have had any prior choral experience before coming to Curley.
​
The Curley Choral Program presently includes four performing ensembles:
The Curley Choir which includes all choristers who are current students at the school.
The Curley Schola, a smaller ensemble which includes choristers who are invited to have the opportunity to perform more challenging music and to perform on a more frequent basis.
The Luminare Choir which includes selected alumni choristers and selected choristers who are current students.
The Curley Ringers, the school's resident handbell ensemble.
FROM THE CHOIRMASTER. . .
As the 2024-2025 Academic Year winds to a close, it is only proper that we should congratulate our choir seniors for their graduation achievement and thanks them for their service to the Curley Choir. This part of the year for me is always bittersweet: it is inspiring to see our wonderful choristers moving on toward successful careers away from Curley, but nonetheless saddening to know that I will not ever see them again on a daily basis.
Regards,
MJG
Curley's Holthaus Center for the Arts, dedicated in 2010, is home to the school's fine arts programs.
