New Providence School District has once again been named a "Best Community for Music Education" by the NAMM Foundation!
2026 is our 15th year being recognized for our excellent music opportunities for our students, putting us in the top five most consistent districts in the state, and the highest in Union County. Our continued achievement solidifies our district and our community as a consistent leader in music education in the state of New Jersey.
Achieving this award is a collaborative effort between our dedicated staff and enthusiastic, talented students. Dedication to excellence at all levels made this achievement possible. Thank you to the New Providence community for your support of our music programs!
The BCME award program recognizes and celebrates outstanding efforts by teachers, administrators, parents, students, and community leaders who have made music education part of a well-rounded education. Designations are made to districts and schools that demonstrate an exceptionally high commitment and access to music education.
