He was the first band director for Jones School in Marshall County, an African-American school during southern segregation.[5] Over 40 years, Quarles had worked at the several schools across the school district (including Cornersville School and Forrest School), until his retirement in 2001. According to the Marshall County Tribune, many students described him as dedicated and rigorous in his leadership for band and music programs.[6] Quarles later served on the Marshall County Community Development Board in his retirement from teaching.[7]
