Staff Focus: Terry Eberhardt, Music Coordinator

Terry Eberhardt has always loved music, from putting on concerts as a child to later singing in school chorus and learning to play various instruments. Eberhardt pursued a dual degree in vocal performance and music education at the prestigious Peabody Institute. After teaching in Montgomery County he went back to school and got a master’s degree in opera performance. 

Having enjoyed teaching so much, though, he wanted to continue working in education and in 2005, Eberhardt became the music teacher at Marriotts Ridge High School. There, he led a number of initiatives, including the school improvement team, family and community partnerships, and Alpha Achievers.

Now, as HCPSS’ Music Coordinator, Eberhardt oversees the music curriculum, events, staff, and budget—a role he loves for a variety of reasons.
