For the second consecutive year, the East Islip School District has earned Best Community for Music Education designation from the NAMM Foundation, recognizing the district’s exemplary musical instruction. Across the nation, just 975 districts achieved this honor for 2024. Now in its 25th year, NAMM’s Best Communities designation recognizes outstanding efforts by teachers, administrators, parents, students and community leaders in making music education part of a well-rounded education.

“I am so proud of the work our teachers do with our students to bring music to our families and communities,” said Dr. Rob Wottawa, the district’s art and music director. “This recognition is confirmation of how amazing our music teachers are with our students and how our community and eiMAPs supports our program continuously.”
