Mount Pleasant Community Schools will begin the 2025–26 academic year with a new face leading the music department, as Micah Peck steps in as the new high school band director.
Peck takes over following the departure of the previous director, who served the district for just two years. While the change may come as a surprise to some community members, school leaders are optimistic about the future of the music program under new leadership.
Though Peck is new to the district, he brings a fresh energy and commitment to building on the tradition of excellence in Mount Pleasant’s band program. Students and families can expect him to be visible and engaged early on, especially with the marching season just around the corner.
The band program has long been a point of pride in Mount Pleasant, with community members frequently turning out to support performances at football games, parades, and concert events. The change in leadership is sure to draw interest from supporters and alumni alike.
Stay tuned for a follow-up interview with Micah Peck as he shares more about his musical background, goals for the program, and how he plans to hit the ground running this fall.
