2025-2026 Teacher of the Year

Amy King

I am excited to begin my fifth year teaching chorus and music theatre at Bryson.  I relocated to Greenville from Raleigh, NC.  where I taught middle and high school chorus and theatre for over 23 years. I graduated from Meredith College in Raleigh with a double major with a  Bachelor of Music degree in Piano Performance and Music Education. I performed as solo pianist with the Raleigh Symphony  and accompanied the Meredith Chorale on a Scandinavian tour.  Along with my tenure as a public school teacher in NC, I was also the Director of the Johnston County Chorus for 15 years and Vocal Director and accompanist for Carolina Youth Theatre for over 10 years. Along with my  passion for musical productions I enjoy singing and playing the piano. I love to encourage students of all ages to discover and share their musical talents in their school and community. I enjoy spending time with my daughter, Victoria and my son, Matthew. I also enjoy spending time with my dog Jax.  I look forward to an awesome year with the Bryson Bulldog family.
