Meet Our Choir Director

Jenny Shippee
Mrs. Jenny Shippee started singing in church choir at age four, started oboe at age ten, and is an active musician in San Diego today.  Mrs. Shippee earned degrees from Northwestern and SDSU in music. She enjoyed her career serving in the Navy Band as oboist and vocalist. Currently Jenny sings for Pacific Coast Chorale, is section leader for the Westminster Touring Choir, plays oboe and an English Horn for various community orchestras and bands, and performs professionally with her woodwind quintet.  
 
Her husband Carlton (retired military trombonist) works as a Network Engineer in direct support of the Navy Fleet.  The Shippee family lives in Pine Valley with three children, two dogs, two cats, and a barrage of wild turkeys.
 
She has been leading our HCS choir since 2021 and is excited for new musical adventures this year. Singing in a choir is a unique, vulnerable, powerful and amazing experience, and it is a joy to offer this form of musical expression and worship to Heritage students.
