Pauline Sexton, Head Director
Mrs. Pauline Sexton is excited to be the new Head Director of the outstanding Grapevine High School Choir Program. This is her 29th year teaching music in Texas public schools. After teaching elementary music in Mission and Edinburg, middle school choir in McAllen, and opening a brand new, very successful high school choir program at Robert Vela High School in Edinburg, she and her husband Brian decided to relocate from the Rio Grande Valley back to the DFW Metroplex, where her love of high school choir began at Berkner High School (‘88) under the direction of Glenda Casey. Mrs. Sexton is a member of TMEA and has served as Elementary Division Chair, Middle School Vocal Division Secretary/Treasurer, and High School Division Chair for Region XV. She has also served TMEA as the soprano and tenor section leaders for the Texas All-State Choir and the High School Vice-President for Texas Choral Directors Association. Mrs. Sexton and her band director husband have two children; David graduated from the Peabody Conservatory of Music (Johns Hopkins) in Baltimore, and Grace is attending Southwestern University in Georgetown.
Ricardo Garza Jr, Assistant Director
Ricardo Garza Jr. (Mr. G) is thrilled to be apart the choir program at Grapevine High School. Mr. G recently moved to the DFW area from the Rio Grande Valley where he completed his sixth year of teaching choir at Mission Veterans Memorial High School. Mr. G had tremendous accomplishments in the RGV where he was a part of a very successful choir program and had multiple students make the Texas All-State Choir. Additionally, he received his master’s in music education from the University of North Texas. Mr. G was born and raised in a small city of Sullivan where he grew up loving music and his Hispanic family traditions. Mr. G loves teaching music, but more than that he has a passion for teaching the wonders of the human voice. Mr. G is excited to learn and share new experiences with GHS students and staff. Go Mustangs!
