South Fayette recognized for music education

The South Fayette Township School District has received the 2023 Best Communities for Music Education designation by the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) Foundation for its commitment to music education.
Now in its 24th year, the Best Communities for Music Education recognition is awarded to districts that demonstrate outstanding achievement in their efforts to provide music access and education to all students.
South Fayette submitted data about funding, graduation requirements, music class participation, instruction time, facilities, support for the music program, and community music-making programs. That information was reviewed by The Music Research Institute at the University of Kansas.
“Music education is an integral part of the South Fayette Township School District,” said Superintendent Dr. Michelle Miller. “That is why you will find the arts at the heart of the district’s mission statement. Our student-musicians, led by our passionate music educators, continually amaze us. This prestigious designation celebrates their talents and commitment.”
South Fayette Township is one of 830 school districts across the country to receive the Best Communities for Music Education distinction.
