Greetings,
My name is Jared Johnson and I am the Band Director at Independence High School, located in Charlotte, NC. I am working enthusiastically and diligently with students, faculty and parents to keep the program moving forward and I am excited to see where our progress will lead us in the coming years. I attended Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University (FAMU), which is located on the highest of seven hills in Tallahassee, Florida. I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a B.S. in Music Education.
I participated in many performing ensembles while attending Florida A&M such as the Piano Guild, Wind Ensemble, Concert Choir, Saxophone Ensemble, Clarinet Choir, Percussion Ensemble and the world-famous FAMU Marching "100." After graduation, I spent time teaching in Fayetteville, North Carolina. In 2015, I humbly received my first Superior Rating at the South Eastern District Band Directors Association Music Performance Adjudication.
I am a member of the National Association for Music Education and the South Central Band Directors Association. I am a proud member of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Fraternity of America, Inc. as well as Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc.
