Lewisville ISD has been named on of the Best Communities for Music Education list by the National Association of Music Merchants Foundation.

This is awarded because of the district’s outstanding effort and success in teaching and offering music education to all students. The honor of this achievement can be given to all teachers, administrators, parents, students and community leaders who helped in this effort.

“LISD is fortunate to employ a dedicated team of outstanding music educators.  All LISD Fine Arts programs provide invaluable learning opportunities and help enhance and enrich the LISD student experience,” said Amanda Drinkwater, LISD’s Director of Fine Arts.

In order to be considered for the list, the district has to provide information including their  funding, graduation requirements, music class participation, instruction time, facilities and support in regards to their music programs. This information must also show how districts provide access to music education to their students.

LISD is part of the 623 school districts in the U.S. and 68 in Texas that were named to the list, including other North Texas districts, Denton ISD and Northwest ISD.
