KEARNEY — The Nebraska Music Education Association (NMEA) announced today that Kearney High School is the recipient of this year’s Exemplary Program Award. Following a rigorous review and site visitation process, the NMEA Board of Directors unanimously approved the award at its April meeting.
The Exemplary Program Award recognizes exceptional music education programs that demonstrate outstanding achievements in providing music education to students.
