Tell Me Something Good-- Mr. Jake Schupner--Music Teacher--Luray High School "As a recent alumni I just wanted to shine some light on how amazing of a teacher he is. I learned so much in his class over my four years in high school that had nothing to do with music. He was open and honest about things going on in the world and was willing to have real conversations in his classroom. Additionally, Mr. Schupner made every student that walked through his doors feel comfortable and wanted. I have never had a teacher like him before and fully believe I never will again."--Katie Marston "Mr. Schupner loves his job, and you can tell by the way he works with the students to create music.
