If you haven't yet done so, please update your profile at FOMAHI website. This helps us keeping you informed of the musical news and events at HIMS! 

While on the website, please consider making a tax deductible donation to support FOMAHI. Donations to non-profit FOMAHI supports the award winning music programs at HIMS, funding the needs of our music students to ensure every student can fully participate and pursue their musical interests. 

This year, we ask parents for a voluntary $40 donation to keep us running until our major fundraising event, Music-a-Thon. 

Make sure to check with your employer, many employers would match the donation and/or compensate the volunteer time. 

We appreciate your support of your music program at HIMS!

All are welcome to join the November Board Meeting, happening virtually on November 19th from 7:00-8:30 pm. Come introduce yourself, hear updates from our music directors, and listen in on the decisions and discussions surrounding FOMAHI Board business.
