North Penn awarded Best Communities for Music Education designation for 12th consecutive year

The North Penn School District 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 12th year in a row NPSD has received this award, and 13th overall.  

Now in its 25th 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.  

“The North Penn School District is dedicated to providing a well-rounded education to our students, including music and art,” said Dr. Todd Bauer, NPSD Superintendent. “This award is a testament to the exceptional educators in our district who are committed to providing every student the opportunity to study music in all its forms.”
