NAMM Foundation Reveals COMMACK PUBLIC SCHOOLS
A ‘2013 Best Community For Music Education’ In The United States

CARLSBAD, Calif. (March 18, 2013) — The National Association for Music Merchants (NAMM) Foundation today announced the results of its 14th annual Best Communities for Music Education survey, which acknowledges schools and districts across the U.S. for their commitment to and support for music education in schools. This year Commack Public Schools has been designated a “Best Community!” This is Commack’s fifth Best Communities for Music Education recognition as the district received this honor in 2002, 2008, 2011, and 2012. Listed below is a complete list of Best Communities for Music Education recipients.

The Best Communities for Music Education survey is a nationwide search for communities whose programs exemplify a strong commitment to music education. Established in 1999, Best Communities for Music Education recognizes and celebrates schools, their administrators, teachers, board members, parents and students for their support of music education and their efforts to assure access to all students as part of the core curriculum.  

A special thank you to the Board of Education, Building and Central Administration and the community for their continued support of the music program.
Congratulations to our talented and dedicated music students and teachers!


Commack High School was selected by the GRAMMY Foundation as a 2012 GRAMMY Signature School Semi-Finalist! This is the sixth consecutive year that the department was selected as a finalist for this prestigious award. Commack was one of three school districts throughout Suffolk County selected as a semi-finalist.  Congratulations for this recognition is due to the District's efforts in providing all students, Kindergarten through twelfth grade, an enriching, valuable music education experience.
