For its dedication to music, the South Country School District has been distinguished with a 2023 Best Communities for Music Education designation from the nonprofit NAMM Foundation. The district is one of 830 school districts from across the nation to earn the award.

To receive the recognition for the 10th year in a row, South Country demonstrated outstanding achievement in its efforts to provide music access and education to all students. The district was required to answer detailed questions about its program, including funding, music class participation, instruction time and support.

“This national recognition honors the love, support and dedication that our music faculty provides our students on a daily basis,” said district Music Chairperson Victoria Hartman. “We thank the community and administration for their never-ending support so that we can continue to provide our students with a safe and supportive music education.”

“The South Country Music Department has deeply impacted my life by giving me a community of students and teachers who are constant supporters and provide everyone with a bright spot in their day,” added Southampton High School senior Hannah Carlson, a violinist. “Music education gives students a place to grow, learn and express themselves.”
