Now in its 22nd year, the Best Communities for Music Education designation is awarded to districts that demonstrate outstanding achievement in efforts to provide music access and education to all students. To qualify for the Best Communities designation, detailed data was analyzed about funding, graduation requirements, music class participation, instruction time, facilities, support for the music program and community music-making programs. Since the passage by Congress in of the Every Student Succeeds Act ESSA and a stated emphasis on a well-rounded education, many school districts have re-committed to music and arts education programs and found that in this time of a national pandemic music provides a valuable way to keep students engaged in school.
There is a well known link between high quality music education supporting students develop and refine critical thinking skills. Additionally, we seek to educate the whole child at Mahopac and engaging in the study and creation of music benefits our students in so many ways.
I want to thank the faculty of our music department and our community for their dedication to and support of our music education programs. Significantly, listening skills are closely tied to the ability to: perceive speech, pay attention, and aural memory. Later in life, individuals who took music lessons as children show stronger neural processing of sound: young adults and even older adults who have not played an instrument for up to 50 years show enhanced neural processing compared to their peers.
Not to mention, social benefits include conflict resolution, teamwork skills, and how to give and receive constructive criticism. Mahopac High School's orchestra has been such a major part of my high school experience, I can't imagine my time at Mahopac without it. Educationally, orchestra has given me self-control, brain development, and teamwork, important things for any student to have. Arguably more important however, are the memories that I have made in orchestra.
I recall entering the stage my first day of school filled with nerves. These nerves were quickly put to rest with the humorous yet confident leadership of Mr. McGregor and the comradery of my fellow musicians. Little did I know how many incredible times I would have with this wonderful group of people I will forever cherish the memories that I have made in MHS' orchestra. The music program in Mahopac has a strong heritage and is continuing to grow recognition for a remarkable culture of excellence.
In recent years, Mahopac has been well represented by the middle and high school ensembles band, orchestra, and chorus at regional competitions, receiving superior ratings and the MHS Philharmonic Orchestra has received multiple best overall orchestra awards. Last year, sixth grader Sarah Kayler was one of two elementary student composers selected for the All-State Conference Composers Showcase. The graduation rate is the percentage of students who entered grade 9 in the same school year who earned a local or Regents diploma four years later.
NYSED also reports the percentage of students who earned a local or Regents diploma by August of the same year the August percentage includes all students who earned a diploma by June and August combined. The New York State Education Department also reports the percentage of students who earned a local or Regents diploma five and six years later. Total Students.
