CCSD Mariachi Teacher Named a Semifinalist for 2027 Music Educator Award

Duane D. Keller Middle School mariachi teacher Miriam Vazquez has been named a Semifinalist for the 2027 Grammy Music Educator Award.

Vazquez is one of only 25 music educators to be selected from across the country as a Semifinalist, and the only one in Nevada.

Each year, one recipient is selected from 10 finalists to receive the Music Educator Award and is recognized for their remarkable impact on students' lives. The finalists will be announced in November 2026.

The Clark County School District (CCSD) congratulates Vazquez on this prestigious recognition and wishes her the best in the competition.
