Duxbury Public Schools

While on break, we were excited to learn that DPS was honored with the Best Communities for Music Education (BCME) Award from The NAMM Foundation for our outstanding support and commitment to music education. Now in its 27th year, the program continues to spotlight and celebrate school districts and individual schools across the United States for their exemplary dedication to music education and their ongoing efforts to ensure equitable access to music learning as part of a well-rounded education. Recipients of the 2026 BCME Awards were selected through a comprehensive application and review process that evaluates key indicators including funding, instructional time, participation rates, facilities, and community support.

Thank you to our amazing DHS music eduactors for their unwavering dedication to the arts and to our students: Ms. Jill Noerenberg, Ms. Maria Bounas, Mr. Christian Dow, Mr. Bob Judge, Mr. Joe Pondaco, and Mr. Sam Schmetterer!
