Tri-M, or Modern Music Masters is the music honor society.  Led by advisor, Ms. Ferrante and officers Mikhail Ankudovych, Yaneli Amaya, Andielynn Llamas, Terry Holman, Melissa Contreras, and Adriana Velasquez, Tri-M’s mission is to recognize student achievement in music, and to spread music throughout the district. To be admitted, during the Spring induction. you must have at least an 85% unweighted GPA and enrollment in a performing ensemble with an average of 90 or above in the course. In years past, Tri-M has helped increase knowledge about music during Music in our Schools Month, fund-raised for the music department, helped during concerts, and participated in music-based field trips. Of course, every organization looks different this year due to COVID-19, Tri-M is continually dedicated to their goal of embracing music in our school, district, and community, even if we must do so in ways completely foreign to us. For those of you in good academic standing, enrolled and excelling in a performing ensemble, and who have a passion for learning, listening, and spreading the joy of music, Tri-M looks forward to welcoming you with open arms after our Spring induction!
