    Bio
     
    With a heart-and-soul love of melody and harmony, Gregory brings his talent to Thacher from Hollywood, where he worked as a composer and music director. This UCLA graduate now serves as chair of the Arts Department and its musical director, and he teaches all the curricular music classes, from Music Appreciation to AP Music Theory (for which he is a national reader). Greg particularly enjoys collaborating with students on the school musical, for which he is musical director. He also advises and oversees and rehearses with students doing independent projects in music or music performance.

    When Extra-Day Trips come around, Gregory happily heads for the hills. Two of his favorite spots are the Pine Mountain Lodge in the Sespe and Rae Lake in the Sierra. To enrich camping trips, Gregory developed the Thacher School Song Book, a portable collection of campfire songs.

    Born and raised in the area, Megan graduated from UCSB with a bachelor’s degree in global studies with an emphasis in Africa. She has spent time exploring countries around the world by foot, bike, and surfboard. Megan teaches ceramics, and her love of working with clay began over a decade ago, and the transformative relationship between clay and fire keeps her perpetually enthralled. In her spare time, Megan pursues her craft at her home studio and enjoys the outdoors as much as possible.
