While students at Workman Elementary School in Canton returned to classes in a virtual world last week, they will have plenty of support in their studies.
Marc Whitlock, a 17-year veteran of the Plymouth Canton Community Schools district has been named the new Student Support Coordinator at Workman. Whitlock, who has been an educator for 28 years, was most recently a teacher at the Plymouth-Canton Educational Park and Discovery Middle School while also leading the world-renown Plymouth-Canton Marching Band.
In addition to his classroom responsibilities, he has been very active working on curriculum design, serving as the department chair for visual and performing arts, physical education and world languages and was an educator leader for the district K-12 arts task force, according to a prepared statement from the district.
In addition to his time in Plymouth-Canton, Whitlock was a music teacher at Hebron High School in Carrollton, TX and Marian Catholic High School in Chicago Heights, IL. He also spent four years with Mason Entertainment Group as the music manager for “Blast! - The Musical,” working with the Broadway U.S. touring cast.
Whitlock earned a bachelor's degree in music education from Morehead State University and a master of music degree from Sam Houston University.
He is widely published and has served as the chief administrator for adjudication for Winterguard International, an American performing arts association, governing body, and the producer of regional championship events for three activities: color guard, percussion ensembles, and small marching bands, for many years.
