Manhasset Schools Honored For Outstanding Music Education

The Manhasset Public Schools has been recognized once again as one of the Best Communities for Music Education by the National Association of Music Merchants Foundation. It is among 830 school districts from across the nation to earn this prestigious recognition this year.

According to the NAMM Foundation, “the award program recognizes outstanding efforts by teachers, administrators, parents, students and community leaders who have made music education part of a well-rounded education.” Schools and districts are evaluated based on their funding, highly qualified music teachers, commitment to high music standards, community support and participation and access to music instruction.

“It’s been an absolute pleasure to bear witness to the tireless efforts of our music teachers who provide rigorous instruction, demonstrate an inclusive philosophy and create special opportunities for their students,” said Director of Fine and Performing Arts Dr. Joseph Owens. “This award is special as it is evidence that our program provides meaningful musical experiences for all Manhasset students.

Congratulations to our music educators, and a special thank you to building and district administrators who create a nurturing environment for arts education.”
