​Bio: Mr. Steger teaches high school band at Fort Atkinson High School.  Currently seven years into his teaching career, Mr. Steger has become a part of a terrific musical staff and community. He teaches two Concert Bands, two Jazz Bands, and Intro to Guitar.
​
He grew up playing the saxophone and his love for saxophone and teaching led him to the University of Wisconsin – Whitewater where he received a Bachelor's in Music and a Jazz Certificate. His pre-teaching life was capped off by earning the Richard G Gaarder award from the Wisconsin Music Education Association. On top of teaching, Justin is the School District of Fort Atkinson K-12 Music PLC Success team lead and he serves the Wisconsin Music Education Association as part of its state advocacy committee. Mr. Steger strongly believes that on top of being a music educator, a music teacher’s other role is to teach students how to live a more humanistic life.
