*=The Princeton Music Boosters honor the memory of Joan Meier by naming one of their membership levels in her name. She was a Princeton Music Teacher (1960-1995), Leader, Colleague, Advocate, Visionary, and Friend. She oversaw the development of the Princeton music program into one worthy of state and national recognition. Under her leadership, Princeton music educators were empowered to develop superior programs, which has enabled tens of thousands of students to experience a comprehensive education in music. Fondly known as "Mother Meier,” choirs under her direction consistently received Superior ratings. Her service to the music profession was recognized in many ways throughout her career, including statewide office and receipt of the OMEA Distinguished Service Award. Her legacy of high achievement and commitment to music education remain an integral part of the education program in the Princeton City School District.
