Over the course of the past 20 years the choirs of Jensen Beach High School have performed throughout our community, the State of Florida, and the nation.  They have consistently earned the highest ratings from adjudicators and have maintained a reputation as one of the top performing groups in the state.  Jubilate, as the choir is known, was recognized as a Florida Vocal Association Choir of Distinction in 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2019.

Mr. Paul seeks to instill a love of music and people in his students.  He strives to teach his students to work hard, play hard, and set expectations high in all aspects of their lives.  Mr. Paul takes joy in the relationships that have been built and cherishes the privilege to see young people grow and improve.  He has been married to his wonderful wife Amanda for 20 years and they have been blessed with four daughters.
