Bridgewater-Raritan School District Earns Award For Its Music Program

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — It’s music to Bridgewater-Raritan's ears.

Earlier this week, the NAMM Foundation announced the recipients of its 2024 Best Communities for Music Education Awards. The national awards recognize K-12 schools and school districts throughout the United States for "outstanding efforts by teachers, administrators, parents, students and community leaders who have made music education part of a well-rounded education."

This year’s list included the Bridgewater- Raritan Regional School District. The district has earned this award seven times.

"These leaders offer an extraordinary model of teaching that ignites a foundation of success we can all honor and celebrate," said John Mlynczak, NAMM president and CEO.

Designations are made to districts and schools that demonstrate an exceptionally high commitment and access to music education.
