Meet the Class of 2025

Rosie's House Class of 2025 standing together

At Rosie’s House, we believe music transforms lives—and the Class of 2025 is living proof. These 19 graduating seniors represent the heart of our mission: to eliminate barriers to high-quality music education and empower young people to pursue their dreams with confidence, creativity, and purpose.

Over the past five years on average, these students have grown not just as musicians, but as leaders, scholars, and changemakers. And now, they’re stepping boldly into the next chapter—100% of them heading to college this fall.

The majority of our students are first-generation college bound—a powerful indicator of the transformational impact of our programs. They’ve been accepted to 73 colleges across the country—including prestigious institutions like Amherst, Rice, and ASU—and have collectively been awarded over a million dollars in scholarships.

They’re ready to make their mark on the world, and we couldn’t be prouder.

Music has always been at the core of everything I do and my greatest passion in my life. If I had to choose one reason why it’s important to me, I would say it’s because it fosters connections and strengthens communities and relationships.
