PLATTSMOUTH – Grayson McGregor has used his musical talents to collect many notable achievements in high school and college.

He will be looking to pass that love of music on to the next generation at Plattsmouth this school year.

Officials at St. John the Baptist School announced this week that McGregor will be the new music teacher. He graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln this spring and has been a member of several college music organizations.

“He is very happy to join our community of St. John the Baptist,” said St. John’s spokesperson Deb Walton. “Please join us in welcoming Mr. McGregor to our school! “

McGregor grew up in Cincinnati before his family moved to the Kansas City area. He graduated from Olathe East High School and moved to Lincoln to take classes on the UNL campus.

McGregor played the clarinet in the Cornhusker Marching Band for four years, and he used his work ethic to become a leader of the group. He and Molly Olander received the 2020 Duane and Laurine Zastrow Marching Band Awards from the Glenn Korff School of Music. Marching band officials selected a man and a woman from the entire group to receive awards.

McGregor was also a member of the UNL Clarinet Studio. Studio head Dr Diane Barger worked with McGregor for several years in Lincoln. She is president-elect of the International Clarinet Association and has taught music at UNL since 1994. She said McGregor would make a difference by working with local students.
