Wedding Bells 2.0

Kyle Smith (’12) is a member of Western’s very first graduating class. On June 25, Kyle became the second WA graduate to wed, marrying Erin Rainer who is also a French Hornist and Elementary music teacher. Kyle graduated from St John XXIII High (2016), and UH Moore’s School in Music Education (2020), and was a founding member of Western’s first Band. As of this month, Kyle works as Assistant Band Director at Wright Junior High in Richmond, TX. Congrats to Brackin and Patti Smith and to our young man! In a fun Green Jay note, Alec Smith, Kyle’s best man and brother, says "There was a hearty shout out to WA during my speech and a thunderous applause from the teachers and alumni there.”
