Mill Creek is home to lots of musical opportunities for all ability levels - we offer beginning handbells as well as an advanced ringing group, and students can take chorus 1, 2, 3, or all 4 semesters they are enrolled at Mill Creek. We have extracurricular ensembles that travel locally to perform at places such as Carowinds and the Hickory Crawdads stadium, and have even performed for our state Superintendent in Raleigh. Come see what kind of music we can make at the Creek!

I have been teaching chorus and handbells at Mill Creek for the past 16 years! Every day is an adventure and I love being able to share music with my students and the larger community.
I graduated from Appalachian State University in 2007 as a North Carolina Teaching Fellow, and the rest is history. I live in Newton with my husband, Jonathan, and my daughter Koley.
