For the 15th time, Lawrence Township Public Schools has been named one of the Best Communities for Music Education by The NAMM Foundation.
Now in its 26th year, the Best Communities for Music Education designation is awarded to school districts across the country that demonstrate exceptional achievement in providing access to comprehensive music education for all students.
The award program is presented by The NAMM Foundation, a nonprofit arm of the National Association of Music Merchants. The foundation supports scientific research, philanthropic giving, and public service programs that advance active participation in music making.
The Best Communities for Music Education designation is based on factors such as funding, staffing of qualified teachers, commitment to standards, and access to music instruction.
Lawrence joins a select group of districts nationwide to receive the recognition multiple times, reinforcing its reputation as a community where music and the arts are valued as essential parts of a well-rounded education.
The honor reflects Lawrence’s long-standing support for music programs and continued investment in arts education throughout the district.
