Congratulations to our latest Superior Educator - Hillary Arundel! Read her nomination below! 

"Hillary is an inspiration because she deeply believes in making the world a better place through music education. She enriches the lives of students K-12 by empowering them and giving them a voice. Xylophones, recorders, folk dancing and music history are just some of the elements of her curriculum. Hillary cares deeply about the music she presents to her choirs, recently holidng a Zoom meeting with a composer so that her students would understand the content and symbolism in his composition. Diversity, equity and inclusion are at the heart of what her lessons promote as she challenges and builds empathy in her students. Thank you Hillary for promoting harmony. 'Music has a great power for bringing people together. With so many forces in this world acting to drive wedges between people, it’s important to preserve those things that help us experience our common humanity.' – Ted Turner"
