Julie, who teaches grades 7-8 music, Rhetoric choir, and Chamber Singers, was earning her music education degree at Miami University when she met her husband, Jeff. Together, they have performed music across the country and are enjoy sharing their talents with our students. Julie taught Kindergarten to third grade music at MHA before teaching students in the upper school. Jeff accompanies her and the students each day in the classroom and at performances, bringing his expertise as an accomplished pianist, arranger, and composer.
The Smiths have three grown daughters, all of whom are former MHA students, and have been blessed with four grandchildren, with whom they spend as much time as possible on their shared family farm. They are active members and worshippers at Urbancrest Baptist Church in Lebanon and are looking forward to this new opportunity to teach and share their passions for both music and Jesus.
