congratulations

For 25 years, Tonawanda Middle School Instrumental Teacher Christopher Taylor has been instilling a life-long love of music in his students.

Taylor began his teaching journey in 1991 in the Lancaster School District before joining Tonawanda eight years later.

He works with the middle school students, helping them develop the skills they learned in their introductory music classes and preparing them for success at the high school level. Beyond the music lessons, he’s helping build student confidence and creating positive memories of their time here in our district.

Taylor says he feels lucky to have spent all these years working with the Tonawanda students and staff, and that it truly is a great place to work.

TMS Principal Kristine Strible described his impact best: “His passion for music education ensures that every student feels seen, heard and capable of greatness in all that they do.”

Thank you, Taylor, for dedicating your talent, passion and 25 years of service to this school community.
