Twelve high school students will be recognized by the Elgin Area School District U-46 board Monday with an Accent on Achievement for their outstanding achievements as musicians, including a student whose original musical composition was honored at the state level.
Students participated in the Illinois Music Education Association (ILMEA) competitive audition process to be named All-State Musicians, the highest musical achievement for high schoolers in Illinois.
These students are all-star musicians and their participation in this prestigious event reflects their dedication and skills as well as the support of their families and U-46 music educators, said Superintendent Tony Sanders. Parents, teachers and these students have showcased their resilience and innovation as they pivoted to producing and supporting virtual performances and employing new technology in the process.
