Best Communities for Music Education

  • R-H Comes Out on Top Again!
    Survey names R-H Community as one of the BEST in the United States! 

     Proud BCME District 2023


    There's a reason it's called "Best Communities for Music Education" and that's because this designation is reserved only for those communities who demonstrate, through their time, support, and demand for excellence that they are committed to the music education of their students.  The Rush-Henrietta community has shown its support of the music program through its participation, parental support of all students who are at home practicing, and its investment in the program, time after time.  The music department believes that parents continue to make this investment because of the confidence they have in the quality of the instructional program and in recognition of the many positive benefits that are brought about through participation in the arts. The survey results are the evidence of that support.


    Every year, the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) conducts a survey of the nation's schools, asking questions about their music programs.  The survey requests information about everything from budget, facilities and resources to student participation, time given for music instruction and teacher quality, to name a few. The music department would like to express its sincere appreciation for the continued support of the community.  We could not do what we do without you!
