About Mrs. Winegardner

I began teaching in 2003 in Greensboro, NC, where I worked for four years and taught orchestra, general music, band, and character education. After taking time off while living in Florida, I joined the staff at Piedmont in August of 2012. The 2023/2024 school year is my twelfth year at Piedmont! It has been a wonderful twelve years so far with all the support of the students, parents, staff, and community, and I look forward to many more years working here! When I'm not working, I enjoy all things Star Wars, reading, sewing, hiking, Minions, and spending time with family. We traveled with my parents to the Grand Canyon in the summer of 2019, and Brian and I cannot wait to go again and explore even more! We will be going to Germany for a one week tour with a choir in May of 2024, which will be my first time traveling to Europe!
