MVMS Parent Update

I am thrilled to announce that our Music Department has been honored with the prestigious Best Communities for Music Education designation from The NAMM Foundation! This recognition is a testament to Mount Vernon City Schools' outstanding commitment to music education and its dedication to providing exceptional music access to all students.

Now in its 25th year, the Best Communities for Music Education designation is awarded to school districts that demonstrate remarkable achievement in fostering a love for music and ensuring that every student has access to quality music education opportunities.

This achievement reflects the hard work, passion, and talent of our music educators, students, and supporters. It is a testament to the collaborative efforts of our entire school community to prioritize and celebrate the arts in education.

I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to everyone involved in making our Music Department a shining example of excellence in music education. Your dedication and commitment to nurturing musical talent and creativity are truly commendable.

Let us continue to inspire and empower our students through the power of music, fostering a lifelong love for the arts and a deep appreciation for the importance of music education.
