Las Vegas High School Mariachi Director Stephen Blanco has been selected as a semifinalist for the 2025 Grammy Museum and Recording Academy Music Educator Award. He is one of only 25 music teachers to be selected for the honor nationally.

The award is given to educators who make a remarkable contribution to music education and show a commitment to maintaining music programs in schools. 

Blanco has led Mariachi Joya at Las Vegas High School since its inception in 2018 and has provided countless Clark County School District students with amazing opportunities through music. Mariachi Joya has won several awards since its inception and has performed at the White House twice.

The winner of the Grammy Music Educator Award will receive a $10,000 award as well as a matching grant for their school’s music program. The finalists will be announced in December, and the winner will be recognized during Grammy Week 2025.
