The Edna Louise Spear Elementary School has been designated as an Elementary School of Excellence by the Suffolk County Music Educators’ Association (SCMEA).

The school is one of only two schools in Suffolk County to have earned the distinction for its robust programs in music education, including outstanding performing ensembles, co-curricular clubs, community performances and interdisciplinary opportunities.

“Anyone who’s attended our elementary school’s many performances, including our concerts, drama productions, interdisciplinary events like the Music Around the World program or the countless community performances, such as the Charles Dickens and Go Green Festivals, can see why Edna Louise Spear Elementary School’s music teachers and students deserve such recognition as a School of Excellence,” said Dr. Michael Caravello, director of Music & Fine Arts.
