"It's such an honor to have been selected for this national endorsement! I'm grateful to The Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation, an organization that helps keep music alive for students that have great love and appreciation for the arts, their heritage and that have the strong desire to excel in school and in life, using music as their vessel to success. I'm confident that with this grant we will be able to reach more students and continue making an impact in their lives." Jose Gonzalez, Music Teacher, Desert Pines High School in Las Vegas NV
An infusion of instruments to Desert Pines High School's music program resulted in 64 students no longer having to share an instrument. This means that each student will have additional class time to practice on their instrument improving their skills and boosting their confidence, and the class as a whole will advance faster.
