Winds Director Henry County High School
My name is Erin Ruggles! I am a graduate of Murray State University where I studied Music Education. Murray was the home of four phenomenal years that included my time in Racer Band, Sigma Alpha Iota, and more. I can say I am incredibly excited to be returning back to what was once my own elementary and middle school! Music has given me so many opportunities to grow and I can’t wait to give back these experiences for young musicians!
