The district honored the achievements of its artistic achievers at the April 25 Board of Education meeting, with a awards ceremony led by Bradley Murphy, curriculum associate for fine and performing arts. Recognized were musicians from the All-County, All-State and All-Eastern ensembles; participants in the Long Island String Festival; artists chosen for the Long Island’s Best: Young Artists at the Heckscher Museum, SCALA Children’s Show, and Colors of Long Island student art exhibits; and students participating in the New York State Theatre Education Association Student Conference.

“It’s quite an honor for students to be awarded recognition for special activities in the area of fine arts,” said Murphy. “Each of these students possesses exceptional talent and we are proud to have them represent Deer Park.”
