The Locust Valley Central School District has once again been honored with the Best Communities for Music Education designation from the National Association of Music Merchants for its outstanding support and commitment to music education during the 2024-2025 school year. This is the seventh consecutive year the district has achieved this distinction.
“Being recognized as one of the Best Communities for Music Education reaffirms our district’s commitment to the fine arts,” Locust Valley’s Coordinator of Instructional Technology and the Fine and Applied Arts AnnMarie Buonaspina said. “This honor reflects the exceptional work of our music educators, the enthusiasm of our students and the support of our families and community. Together, we continue to create an environment where the arts thrive.”
This school year has been an exciting one for Locust Valley’s music community as 275 young musicians participated in New York State School Music Association festivals, 9 took part in the Long Island String Festival and 45 were selected as All-County players.
