Shorecrest and Kellogg music teacher named to WMEA Hall of Fame

Shorecrest and Kellogg orchestra teacher Mark Adamo has been announced as one of 10 music educators in the State who will be inducted into the Washington Music Educators Association’s (WMEA) Hall of Fame.

Adamo and other honorees will be inducted into the WMEA Hall of Fame at an awards banquet on February 15 preceding the group’s annual conference in Yakima.

“This is a well-deserved recognition for a remarkable music educator,” said Superintendent Rebecca Miner. 

“Mark’s passion and commitment to his students and fellow teachers is evident in his students’ amazing musical performances and all of the hard work that leads up to them.”

Humbled by the honor, Adamo was quick to praise his fellow teachers and staff.

“While it’s certainly an honor to be included amongst those who have been selected before, to be honest, I feel like I’m really just doing my job. Shoreline teachers come to work every day and give 110 percent,” said Adamo. 

“If I’m personally recognized, it’s only because I'm on a team of employees who do amazing work every single day. The successes of our students are due to the combined efforts of every faculty, staff member, administrator and support personnel in the district.”
