NORDONIA HILLS SCHOOL DISTRICT BAND-AIDES
Mission Statement
Beginning in 6th grade at Lee Eaton, and continuing throughout their high school experience, students in the Nordonia Hills schools have the opportunity to enter the band program, and learn not only to master an instrument, but also build valuable skills, and friendships that will last a lifetime. In addition to developing personal discipline, building bonds of friendship, and practicing skills in teamwork and communication, students that participate in band programs are also shown to excel in academics. A 2019 study published on the American Psychological Associations website, notes: “…On average, the children who learned to play a musical instrument for many years and were now playing in high school band and orchestra, were the equivalent of about one academic year ahead of their peers with regard to their English, mathematics and science skills, as measured by their exam grades.” This evidence, along with our own schools consistent academic and musical excellence, proves how valuable promoting and growing our band program is in preparing our children for the future.
