On the evening of Wednesday, November 11, 2026, the Quakertown Community High School held the inaugural induction for the Tri-M Music Honor Society.

 

The Tri-M Music Honor Society is an international honor society for junior and senior high school music students who exemplify academic success, character, leadership, and service.

 

Director of Choral Activities, Ms. Erin Camburn, and Director of Bands, Dr. Rachael Urquhart, hosted the evening’s festivities, along with chapter officers, Elena Ritter, Dean Morrison, Aiden Myers, and Israel Ekpe (unable to attend).

What does “Tri-M” mean? It stands for Modern Music Masters. Modern for emphasizing the importance of new ideas, Music to describe the category of art, and Masters for recognizing that these individuals have achieved a high degree of proficiency within this art form.

 

Students received their certificate of acceptance into the society, as well as a Quakertown Community High School Music Department pin. The department emblem’s fire and instrument design represents students’ passion for musical excellence.

Both Ms. Camburn and Dr. Urquhart shared their excitement about establishing the Tri-M Music Honor Society at Quakertown Community High School. The organization provides students with opportunities to demonstrate their leadership, passion for music, and appreciation for one another. This first class of inductees is a particularly special group because they are establishing the foundation and traditions for future Tri-M members at QCHS.

 

Congratulations to Quakertown Community High School’s Tri-M Chapter 104533!
