HICKSVILLE, NY — Hicksville Public Schools has been received the Best Community for Music Education Award from the National Association of Music Merchants Foundation. This is the seventh year Hicksville music educators, administrators, students and parents have demonstrated outstanding achievement and commitment to providing access to music education and to instilling an appreciation of music.

“We are incredibly proud to be named as one of the Best Communities for Music Education once again,” said District Supervisor of Fine Arts Chad Wyman. “This recognition from NAMM is a testament of our commitment to music education and our dedicated music educators who have continued to inspire our amazing and talented students to continue learning and sharing music within our district.”
