Lyons Township High School was recently named a semifinalist in the Grammy Foundation’s Signature Schools program. Only 129 schools nationwide were recognized. Created in 1998, the Grammy Signature Schools program recognizes top U.S. public high schools that are making an outstanding commitment to music education during an academic school year. As a semifinalist school, LT is busy submitting additional documentation, such as recordings of school concerts, sample concert programs and repertoire, which will then reviewed by an independent blue-ribbon committee of top music educators and professionals to determine the semifinalists that merit Grammy Signature School status. In mid-March, the foundation will announce the finalists. These schools will receive a custom award and a monetary grant ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 to benefit their music program. The top finalists will be designated as Gold recipients. The best of the Gold recipients is then determined and designated as the National Grammy Signature School.
