West Liberty-Salem Local School District

We are excited to spend August introducing you to new staff at WL-S! Today, we introduce Mr. Jakob Schaufelberger! Mr. Schaufleberger joins our Fine Arts Department teaching 3rd and 4th grade music, MS/HS Choir, Show Choir and Musical! Welcome to WL-S, Mr. Schaufelberger! We are excited to have you! Hello WLS community! My name is Jakob Schaufelberger, and I am originally from Van Wert, OH. My music career started in high school where I sang in the VWHS choir, performed musicals Footloose and Titanic, and sang in the OMEA DIII honor choir and OMEA All State choir. I come from fairly well-rounded family with parents, grandparents, and siblings who nearly all have a history of music, sports, or both. I graduated from Wright State University in August of 2021 with my Bachelor’s in vocal music education. Since then, I taught choir at Ottawa-Glandorf High School as a long-term substitute, and substitute taught in the Beavercreek City School district. I am thrilled to be a part of the WL-S music program, and I look forward to being a part of the community!
