Family Circle Magazine Names Rockwall one of the best towns for Families

The City of Rockwall  is the nation’s third best town for families, according to Family Circle magazine.

The magazine’s August 2009 issue, which is on newsstands soon, features the country’s 10 best towns and cities. Following Sherwood are: Evans, Ga.; Rockwall, Texas; Indian Trail, N.C.; Edina, Minn.; Noblesville, Ind.; Perrysburg, Ohio; Hendersonville, Tenn.; Kenmore, Wash.; and Sun Prairie, Wis.

The communities featured in the magazine’s annual roundup of perfect places to call home combine affordable housing, good neighbors, green spaces and A+ public school system.

According to the magazine, each of the towns honored is made up of forward thinking leaders, parents, teachers and students who are passionate about their hometown, dedicated to bettering their children’s futures and involved in advancing their local school systems as exemplified by the implementation of such programs as partnering with local government in providing recreational amenities, private medical groups to ensure treatment for students who don’t have health insurance and integrating dual language classes in grade school.
