STAFF
We are very blessed in the Music Department to have two gifted and caring music educators working with our students!  The talents they share give our students the opportunity to work with musicians who serve as an excellent model, and educators who provide challenge in the classroom.

Mrs. Jamie Waite is an amazing leader of our instrumental programs.  She brings out the best in all her students, and the music they produce is evidence of her efforts!  She also serves our country as a member of the PA Army National Guard…providing morale for our troops and educating audiences through music.  Thank you for your service, Mrs. Waite!

Mr. Christopher Waite is the leader of our choral music programs.  He produces fantastic musicals each year here at YC!  The school choirs are exceptional!  He brings quality choral music to us through our concert choir, mixed chorus, and liturgical singers.  He recently performed at the Strand Capitol Performing Arts Center as the featured Tenor Soloist with the York Symphony Orchestra!  “An Evening of Rodgers & Hammerstein” was a big success!  As a result, he was invited to perform with the St. Louis Philharmonic and had a terrific performance with them in September.  Congratulations, Mr. Waite!
