The North Penn School District (NPSD) has once again been honored with the best Communities for Music Education designation from the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) Foundation for its outstanding commitment to music education. This is the 11th year in a row NPSD has received this award, and 12th overall.
Now in its 24th year, the Best Communities for Music Education designation is awarded to districts that demonstrate outstanding achievement in efforts to provide music access and education to all students. To qualify for the Best Communities designation, NPSD answered detailed questions about funding, graduation requirements, music class participation, instruction time, facilities, support for the music program, and community music-making programs. Responses were verified by school officials and reviewed by the the Music Research Institute at the University of Kansas.
“Music and arts education are a priority at North Penn and that is reflected in the excellent musicians within our district,” said Dr. Todd Bauer, NPSD Superintendent. “This award is a testament to the outstanding educators in our district that give each student the opportunity to explore and learn.”
