In awards published April 17th, Brighton, Rush-Henrietta, Honeoye, and the East Irondequoit Central School Districts are among those named by the NAMM foundation, a trade organization which honors teachers, administrators, families, and leaders for supporting music as part of a well-rounded education.
The NAMM foundation works with the Music Research Institute at the University of Kansas to compile the annual list. A high percentage of the 583 districts named best in the country are concentrated in Upstate New York.
