“CBS This Morning” honored our high school band director, Mr. Stephen Cox, as the winner of the 2022 GRAMMY Music Educator Award. The segment included video of our town and interviews with our students past and present.
At this time, Mr. and Mrs. Cox are already in Las Vegas where they will be participating in official Grammy week events.
During the telecasts of the Grammy’s on Sunday there will be a moment where Award Show Host Trevor Noah acknowledges Mr. Cox and he will be seen briefly on camera as well.
Mr. Cox was chosen from a pool of thousands of music teachers across America. This is a really spectacular recognition of our community, students, and band staff. We already knew that we had the best band director in the nation. Now, the entire country knows it as well.
We are so very proud of Mr. Cox and cannot wait for him to get back to Eastland so that we can celebrate this with him.
