Nicolas Jacques, You're a NV Milken Educator

 

Music teacher Nicolas Jacques catches his breath as the afternoon's momentous events sink in. Nicolas has made band an integral part of the CMS culture and a “family away from home” for the 264 CMS students who participate in the school’s concert, marching and jazz bands. His students make up 60% of the Carson City honor band, and six were selected to play in the All-State festival last year. Nicolas’s students excel in academics as well, delivering the highest scores at the school on statewide assessments.
