WEST NEWBURY — Superintendent Justin Bartholomew and Fine & Performing Arts Department Chair David Schumacher are proud to announce that the Pentucket Regional School District has been recognized by the NAMM Foundation as part of the Best Communities for Music Education (BCME) list for the fourth consecutive year.
The Pentucket Regional School District was one of 23 schools across Massachusetts to receive the honor of being included in the BCME list. Now in its 25th year, the Best Communities for Music Education designation is awarded to districts nationwide that demonstrate outstanding achievement in efforts to provide music access and education to all students.
“Applying for this designation was a massive undertaking involving the coordination of K-12 music faculty, all our district principals, and the Pentucket Music Boosters,” Schumacher said. “We sincerely thank everyone involved with the process!”
“We are so thrilled to be recognized by the NAMM Foundation for the fourth consecutive year,” said Superintendent Bartholomew. “Our students are so passionate about music and the arts, and because of strong community support we are able to provide them with an outstanding music education program.”
