Have you met the new HS/MS Music Teacher? Aaron Tuchardt is a professional musician and educator based out of the Pacific Northwest. After over 10 years of playing, his areas of performance center around drums, percussion, and voice. While his primary performance focus is in the Jazz scene, his classical degree has awarded many opportunities to perform in a diverse selection of genres. Aaron is fortunate enough to have shared the stage with musicians such as Chris Martin (Trumpet), John Clayton (Bass), Diane Shuur (Voice), New York Voices, Esperanza Spalding (Bass), members from Tower of Power, and more. In addition, Aaron has also toured with some of the Pacific Northwest’s premier wind and jazz ensembles. In the coming years Aaron is looking forward to continuing performing and educating around the world.

Want to know where you WON’T find our custodians this summer?? In their offices! Our custodians have been super busy all summer installing new carpet, new stoves (in the culinary classroom) and an HVAC system at the HS. The new HVAC will not only be quieter but frees up space in classrooms. In addition to deep cleaning in all buildings, the custodians also were prepping for the construction of the covered playground at the Elementary.
