Mr. Ted Stiles came to LHS from a small-town upbringing in Fairfield, Montana. There, his experiences ignited a lifelong journey of music, ministry, and education. In the 5th grade, he discovered a passion for music, the spark that led Mr. Stiles to Arkansas Tech University (ATU). At ATU, he earned a BA in Music in 2008.

Mr. Stiles has continued in his quest for knowledge and service; he is currently enrolled in the Master of Arts in Teaching, Learning, and Leadership program at ATU. Beyond the classroom, he proudly serves as a recovery pastor at Home Church in Dardanelle, Arkansas, where he offers support, healing, and faith to those in need. With a decade of ministerial experience at FBC Russellville, his commitment to spirituality is deeply ingrained.

For five years, Mr. Stiles operated a private music studio, sharing his expertise with students for over a decade. He has also ventured into the real estate world, holding a license in Russellville. Currently, Mr. Stiles is in his second year of teaching at Lavaca School District, where he is privileged to continue shaping young minds.
