Merrick Named One Of The Best Communities For Music Education

For the third consecutive year, the Merrick School District has been recognized as one of the Best Communities for Music Education by the National Association of Music Merchants Foundation.

Merrick was one of 528 school districts in the nation to receive this distinction, which recognizes the outstanding efforts of teachers, parents, administrators and community members to ensure all students are offered exceptional music education in their curriculum. \

The NAMM Foundation, assisted by the Music Research Institute at the University of Kansas, evaluates schools and districts based on their funding, highly qualified music teachers, commitment to high music standards, community support and participation and access to music instruction.

“We are very proud of our music department, faculty and young musicians for receiving this honor,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Dominick Palma.
