A senior at Glendale Preparatory Academy was the first place winner of the West Valley Chorale’s Fourth Annual Youth Vocal Competition.

Winners were selected from contestants who are high school juniors and seniors from across the Valley. Winners receive scholarships to continue their vocal studies.

This year’s first place winner was Isabella San Pablo, a senior at Glendale Preparatory Academy, 23276 N. 83rd Ave., Suite 1, Peoria.

San Pablo has performed with the Phoenix Children’s Chorus for 10 years, and studied classical voice for four years.
