Rick Johnson

• Raised in Houston, Texas, Rick Johnson came to
  Central Oregon to be the Crook County High School
  and Middle School choir director in 2001. After
  two years of building the choral programs at both
  schools, Rick was moved to the high school
  full-time.  
• While at the high school, Rick is teaching the
  Jazz Choir, Concert Choir, Womens Choir,
  Americana Music, and Drama. Rick directed the
  CCHS musical Youre a Good Man Charlie Brown. He
  co-directed the CCHS musicals Guys and Dolls, How
  to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, and
  South Pacific.
• Rick received his Bachelor of Music degree in
  Musical Theater and his Master of Music degree in
  Vocal Performance from Oklahoma City University.
  He received his Oregon Music Teaching
  Certification from Oregon State University.
• Rick has performed as a professional singer,
  actor, dancer, and director in respected theaters
  around the country. This Fall, he can be seen at
  the Cascades Theatrical Company Theater in Bend,
  as Charlie in the musical Brigadoon, for which
  he is also the music director. Some of Ricks
  favorite roles include Joseph in Joseph and the
  Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Robin in Robin
  Hood The Musical, Riff Raff in The Rocky Horror
  Show, The Leading Player in Pippin, and Jesus in
  Jesus Christ Superstar.
• In his spare time, Rick enjoys the mountains of
  Central Oregon. During the warm months, he can
  be found hiking, mountain climbing, camping, and
  fly-fishing. During the cold months, he races
  through the mountains with his team of nine sled
  dogs.
• Rick is very lucky to have found a beautiful
  wife who shares (and puts up with) his extremely
  busy lifestyle. It takes quite a woman to share
  a home with a musician who is hardly ever home, 9
  dogs, and 3 cats.
• Rick would like to thank his family, students,
  and all the people of this wonderful community
  for their support.
