Music is offered weekly by a credentialized music teacher, who also organizes (on her own time) an upper grade chorus, Advanced Recorder Club and 6th Grade Drum Corp. Various grade levels perform plays during the year and an annual variety show allows students to showcase their talents. Music and arts are highly encouraged and multiple assemblies are scheduled, including the SD Opera, SD symphony, and local high school and middle school bands and choirs.

My child has attended CVHE for 2 years. On the good side, the atmosphere is very family oriented. The kids are great kids!! Staff is great, but on the down side, from the experience I've had there, teachers and principal do not do enough to set higher education for able students. They are taught or made to feel that everyone goes at the same speed/rate instead of being challenged to keep moving forward. The Gate program does not have enough activities as other schools do. And the extracurricular activities are not that great. I would like to see more art/music/drama programs within the school, as Kellogg and Allen, and not from other outside expensive sources .
My family can not say enough good things about this school. The principal, Mrs Parker is wonderful. She knows every child attending CVHE. The teachers are very quilified and get along well, good for the students to see. My daughter is on the Safery Patrol which is a very important task in addition to her school work. Again, we appreciate this school more than we can say. Any child attending has a golden opportunity to learn and grow.
