Exemplary Arts Schools Program

The Exemplary Arts Schools program was created by the Round Table Advisory Committee for AZ Arts Education to recognize Arizona Schools who are providing excellent arts education programs across the state by providing exemplary access to multiple artistic disciplines, demonstrating robust student participation in programs, and striving to grow arts enrollment in the previous school year.

Based on the above criteria and using from the Arizona Arts Education Data Project, schools received a designation of developing, bronze, silver or gold for the 2019-2020 School Year.

Please note: The data used for the Arizona Arts Education Data Project were self-reported by Districts and LEAs and, therefore, may not reflect a complete account of student enrollment or access

Virtual Jazz Informance Tuesday April 13th Fri, Apr 2 2021

The Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz, in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Education, will present a virtual peer-to-peer jazz informance on April 13, featuring this year’s edition of the Institute’s National Peer-to-Peer All-Star Jazz Septet. Hosted by U.S. Secretary of Education Dr. Miguel Cardona and 14-time GRAMMY Award-winning jazz legend Herbie Hancock, the “informance” – a combination of performance with educational information – will be presented by seven of the country’s most gifted high school music students along with renowned jazz educator Dr. JB Dyas. The informance will not only focus on what jazz is and why it’s important to America, but also on the American values jazz represents: teamwork, unity with ethnic diversity, the correlation of hard work and goal accomplishment, perseverance, democracy, and the vital importance of really listening to one another.
