Please see below for a message from Mr. Huls via the CJHS Trojan Band website:

Hello all.

I hope you are all enjoying your summer vacation time. I am sure a portion of you have heard that I will not be returning next fall to CJHS. It is true that I have been offered and accepted a new position closer to my home.

Accepting this position was a tough decision as I have been at CJHS for 9 years. My decision was based solely on the need to be closer to home to help be there for my family.

The last 9 years in Carrollton have meant so much to me. Carrollton City Schools is a fabulous, supportive, and rewarding place to work because of the awesome parents, students, and supportive administration. I have received emails from students already telling me how much they learned from from me, and I am humbled by that. What they don’t realize is how much I learned from them. I couldn’t have imagined a better place to start my teaching career.

I am so thankful to the band staff for being so supportive in my decision. I will continue to write and design this year’s marching band show and watch from afar as the Trojan Marching Band has another incredible marching season.

Thank you all for being such dedicated parents to not only me but the activity of band. Carrollton families have always had a huge respect for the importance of music and its impact on their children. With a new director being added to the already amazing band staff the future is bright for the band program in Carrollton.

Thank you all again for your support.

Joe Huls
