RHS choir teacher Krista Sweer also served as pianist for the NJ All-State Treble Choir, proudly representing the Roxbury High School Choral Program at the state level. Roxbury Township Public Schools commends both educators for their exceptional leadership, talent, and commitment to excellence in the performing arts.
