About Mr. Cavis

I am in my 16th year teaching at Harper Creek Community Schools and my 20th year overall. Prior coming to Harper Creek, I taught band and choir in Centreville, MI. Currently, I direct the 6th-8th grade bands, the 6th and 7th grade choirs and I also teach 5th grade general music.

I am originally from St. Clair MI on the far east side-I grew up looking at Canada! After high school, I attended Western Michigan University (Go Broncos!) and earned my Bachelors Degree in Music Education in 2005. I went back and earned my Masters Degree in Music Education in 2010. 

My wife and I have been married for 16 years-she is a music teacher in Kalamazoo, MI. We met in the WMU Marching Band and have been together ever since. 

We have a  year old son named Anthony. He is a bundle of joy and constantly learning new things, currently he plays soccer and basketball. We also have our crazy dog Phoebe-she is a schnauzer/poodle mix and is Anthony's best friend. 

When I'm not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family, following the Detroit Tigers, and traveling. My wife and I are season ticket holders to Western Michigan Men's Basketball Games. I am also a masters swimmer-I compete in swim meets around the state of Michigan, and outdoor events like the Goguac Lake Swim and the Cereal City Triathlon (just the swim leg).

I truly enjoy teaching and I am thrilled to be teaching at Harper Creek!
