SPENCER WILEY
Spencer Wiley is excited to begin his sixth year as head director of the Harker Heights High School choir program. Coming from a military family, Mr. Wiley attended several schools in the area, including Copperas Cove Intermediate School, Manor Middle School, Fairway Middle School, and Copperas Cove Junior High School. He graduated from Copperas Cove High School in 2000 as a 2-year TMEA All-State choir member and UIL Solo Outstanding Performer. He then attended the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, studying voice with Dr. Guy Wilson and George Hogan, and choral conducting with Dr. David Guess.
Graduating from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor with a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education, Spencer Wiley began his teaching career at Henry Middle School in Cedar Park, Texas in 2005. During his time at Henry MS, he was fortunate enough to assist with preparing the Varsity Treble Choir for their TMEA Honor Choir performance in February 2008. In the fall of 2008, he began working towards a Master’s Degree in Music Education at Texas State University-San Marcos. While attending graduate school, he remained very active in several Austin area choral programs, teaching private voice lessons to young men and women and serving as a choral clinician.
In the fall of 2010, Mr. Wiley was hired as the assistant choir director at Rouse High School in Leander, Texas. Over the course of three years at Rouse HS, choirs under his direction earned multiple first division ratings at numerous choral festivals and U.I.L. Concert & Sight-Reading competitions. Mr. Wiley became the head director at Leander High School in the spring of 2014. During his time at LHS, his choirs continued to receive consistent sweepstakes awards at UIL contests and choral festivals. He also piloted Leander High School’s first International Baccalaureate (IB) music program, AP Music Theory course, and show choir ensemble.
Mr. Wiley has served as a TMEA invited clinician for Regions 10, 19, 26, and 32 and is a frequent adjudicator for UIL Concert & Sight-Reading contest around the state of Texas. He is looking forward to working with amazingly talented students and continuing the tradition of excellence here at Harker Heights High School!
