The Irvine Unified School District has once again been named one of the nation’s Best Communities for Music Education by the prestigious NAMM Foundation. The national recognition program, now in its 14th year, spotlights school districts that have demonstrated “exceptional efforts toward maintaining music education as part of the schools’ core curriculum.” IUSD last earned the honor in 2010, and the district is one of 307 to receive the designation this year.
