YCSD Named Best Community for Music Education

The National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) Foundation has named York County School Division as a "Best Community for Music Education" for its outstanding commitment to music education. YCSD is one of only 25 school divisions in Virginia to achieve the coveted status this year.

The NAMM Foundation, a nonprofit organization, awards this designation to school divisions and schools that demonstrate an exceptionally high commitment to offering comprehensive music education to all students. It further serves to recognize the outstanding efforts of teachers, administrators, parents, students, and community leaders who have made music education part of the curriculum. To qualify for the Best Communities designation, YCSD answered detailed questions about funding, graduation requirements, music class participation, instruction time, facilities, support for the music program and community music-making programs.

Congratulations to our entire division music department staff, students and parent community for helping us to achieve this prestigious recognition.
