The Smithtown Central School District proudly congratulates all the talented students who have been selected as NYSSMA All-State and NYSCAME All-County and SCMEA All-County Jazz! Their dedication, hard work, and passion for music have earned them this remarkable achievement and recognition among the best student musicians in Suffolk County and New York State. Students were selected based on their Spring 2025 NYSSMA Adjudication.

“We are incredibly proud of our students' accomplishments and are confident that they will represent Smithtown with distinction and pride," said SCSD Director of Fine Arts, Victoria Hartman.
