Hi, I am Akeem Downs. I've taught in Laurens 55 since 2014. I previously taught band at Gray Court-Owings School, Hickory Tavern School and Laurens District High School.

I am the Chorus Director here at Sanders Middle, as well as Laurens Middle School, and I am an assistant band director at Laurens District High School.

I am a graduate of James F. Byrnes High School. I then graduated from Winthrop University and Southern Wesleyan University. I previously taught at Chapman High School, Chester Senior High School, Lake View Middle/High School, and Newberry High School.

"Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy. Music is the electrical soil in which the spirit lives, thinks and invents."
