|
Guilford County Schools alumnus Tony Griffey won two Grammy awards on February 8, 2009 for Best Classical Album and Best Opera Recording for his performance on the album, Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny, performing alongside Broadway stars Patti LuPone and Audra McDonald. Griffey, who grew up in High Point, attended Kirkman Park Elementary, Griffin Middle, Andrews High and High Point Central High where he graduated in 1985.
A recipient of many honors, he often returns to his hometown to lend his talent to benefit others through concerts for Open Door Ministries, Salvation Army and the High Point Area Arts Council.
