Yaamini Jois, Staff Writer

After six years in choir at Coppell Middle School East and Coppell High School, senior Megna Gopinath has spent her last year performing with the Madrigal choir with a speaking role in the 2021 Madrigal feast.

This year, Gopinath was named a Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) All-State Musician for treble choir, along with six other singers. This recognition is the most prestigious honor that a high school performer in Texas can receive. As a thespian, Gopinath has performed at the Texas Thespian Festival and acted in a short film, Terrifying Texas Tales, in her junior year. Gopinath’s achievements are driven by her hard work, a passion for the performing arts and goals of becoming a film actress in the future. Click on the icons to learn more.
