Music
At SEM, we start every day with music. To Alma Mater, composed by SEM Alumna Mary Gail Clark, Class of 1910, and Jerusalem, by William Blake, are among the songs the entire SEM community sings regularly in Morning Meeting. For students with an interest in expanding on their musical talents, or learning something new, there are many extracurricular clubs and interest groups to choose from, such as SEM Ensemble, Glee Club, Semachords, and the Music Collective. These groups perform in the community and at events at SEM throughout the year. Our musicians are also active individually in regional orchestras, ensembles, and musical theatre productions and routinely win seats in the competitive Erie All-County Community Orchestra.
