Our Music Teachers
For today's students to succeed tomorrow, they need a comprehensive education that includes music taught by exemplary music educators.
To that end, all Spring Grove Area School District Music Department teachers have a bachelor's degree or higher in music education and are certified to teach music. Many of our extracurricular music faculty also hold degrees in the music field. Our music faculty is active in the community as performers and directors of various bands, orchestras, and choral groups.
The Music Department is led by Mr. Tim Bupp, Music Department Chair.
