Amityville

The Amityville School District is proud to announce that Amityville Memorial High School junior Naomi Chavez Duran has been recognized by the New York State School Music Association for her outstanding musical talents.  

She was selected to perform in the All-State Festival at NYSSMA’s annual Winter Conference, which took place from Dec. 4-7 in Rochester. Out of thousands of auditions in the state, Naomi was among roughly 100 students selected to participate in the state's Treble Choir. 

This marks second year in a row that one of Amityville’s high school chorus students has been accepted into an All-State Ensemble. It should also be noted that Naomi achieved this honor as a junior, a rare feat for high school students. She is also the first junior in school history to be accepted into the All-State Ensemble. Naomi accomplished this outstanding achievement with the help of her chorus teacher, Mr. Joseph DeMato-Garcia. 

The district commends Naomi Chavez Duran on being recognized as a NYSSMA All-State musician.
