LAS VEGAS— The Clark County School District (CCSD) Music Education Program has been awarded the prestigious Best Communities for Music Education designation from the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) for an impressive 26th consecutive year.

The recognition underscores the district's commitment to providing high-quality music education, which is seen as vital for the overall development of students.
