The Randolph County School System was well represented this morning at the North Carolina Music Educators Association (NCMEA) Professional Development Conference as Level Cross Elementary School Music Teacher Miranda Walker had the honor of presenting her session, "Breakout Your Way," to fellow music educators from across the state.

Walker’s presentation provided an opportunity to share her knowledge, experience, and passion for music education with other professionals dedicated to inspiring students through music. Being selected to present at a statewide professional development conference is a wonderful accomplishment and reflects her commitment to growing as an educator while contributing to the professional learning of others.

The NCMEA is a professional organization that supports music educators throughout North Carolina and serves as the state affiliate of the National Association for Music Education (NAfME). The organization provides professional development, advocacy, and performance opportunities while working to strengthen music education for students at all levels.

The 2026 NCMEA Professional Development Conference, held November 7–10 at the Benton Convention Center in Winston-Salem, brings together music educators from across the state under this year's theme, "The Future Sounds Like This." The conference features professional learning sessions, hands-on workshops, innovative teaching strategies, and opportunities for educators to collaborate and share ideas that can positively impact music education.

Walker's participation as a presenter highlights the outstanding talent and expertise within RCSS and the dedication of our educators to continually learn, grow, and share their knowledge with others.

Congratulations to Miranda Walker on this exciting opportunity! Thank you for representing Level Cross Elementary School and the Randolph County School System so well. We are proud of you!

Students First in All We Do!
