VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — The music education program at Virginia Beach City Public Schools won a national designation for the 15th year in a row.
The schools received the Best Communities for Music Education designation from the National Association of Music Merchants Foundation. Less than 10% of schools across the nation and only 1% of Virginian schools receive this award, a release states.
“On behalf of the School Board and staff of VBCPS, I want to share how thankful we are to have such a distinguished music education program,” said Superintendent Dr. Donald Robertson Jr. “For the 15th time, VBCPS has been awarded this distinction, which is a testament to the superior staff who passionately share their expertise and the student musicians who use this to pursue their passion for music.”
