Position: Orchestra Co-Director
County: Gwinnett
Location: Seckinger High School
Job Description: Our school opened in fall of 2022 to relieve Mill Creek HS and Mountain View HS in the Gwinnett County Public Schools District. We are projected to have between 2600-2800 students next year. We are the first Artificial Intelligence-themed cluster in the nation, meaning that our students will receive a college/career preparatory curriculum that is taught through the lens of artificial intelligence. While we do have an additional set of “AI Components” we apply to all lessons (like identifying a state/county standard or learning target), this has not changed the way I teach orchestra at all. AI is actually much more relatable to all school subjects than most people realize. Our goal is to prepare our students for their future, whether that’s a career in AI, or just a basic understanding of how AI is becoming embedded into our society and world. We offer all standard pathways and extra-curricular activities like all other public schools. We have an incredibly supportive administration that understands the important role the orchestra program and fine arts have in building a strong school culture.
About Our Orchestra Program
• 240 students currently in orchestra
• 5 Performing Ensembles (Concert Orchestra is taking a III program to LGPE, Sinfonia Orchestra is taking a III/IV program to LGPE, Symphonic Orchestra is taking a IV program, Philharmonic Orchestra is taking a V program, and Chamber Orchestra is taking a VI program)
Future of Our Orchestra Program
• With the opening of our new high school 4 years ago, our feeder program has boomed the last few years. The current 6th grade orchestra has about 140 students, so there will be continued growth in the program for the foreseeable future.
A Co-Director Would be Expected to Fulfill the Following Roles
• Assist with all aspects of the program
• Serve as the lead conductor/teacher for two orchestra classes
• Teach 1 section of beginning guitar/piano/music theory - (curriculum already established, minimal experience needed to teach these courses)
