Cheryl Strecker
Music Director
Originally from Buffalo, New York, Cheryl graduated from the State University at Brockport (now Brockport State University) with a degree in Speech Pathology and Audiology. She also minored in Education. Cheryl moved to Erie in 1975, and eventually landed here at Community United Church to teach preschool in 1981. She taught here for 13 years before making the move to the YMCA to teach there. In 2000 Cheryl took a position at Penn State, The Behrend College, working for Barnes and Noble (the campus bookstore). After “retiring” in 2012 she served as a substitute in the Erie School District and held the position of Personal Learning Aide for several years, until Covid forced her to officially retire (aside from her work here) in 2020.
