Tri M Music Honor Society

This is the only honor society for music students at the high school and middle school levels. Tri-M is a program associated with the National Association for Music Education (NAfME) which promotes music in our schools, connects students around the world with others that serve the same passion, and encourages students to spread their love of music with those in the community and beyond. This honor society is designed to recognize students for their academic and musical achievements and to provide leadership and service opportunities to young musicians. This is a student led organization that supports leadership, scholarship, service, and musicianship.
