Ernst & Young LLP has named Rob Price, CEO of School of Rock as the Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2023 New England Award winner. The Entrepreneur Of The Year Awards program is one of the preeminent competitive awards for entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies. Price was selected by an independent judging panel made up of previous award winners, leading CEOs, investors and other regional business leaders. The candidates were evaluated based on their demonstration of building long-term value through entrepreneurial spirit, purpose, growth and impact, among other core contributions and attributes.

"Being named the EY New England Entrepreneur of the Year award winner is an incredibly humbling experience. From the initial nomination to the surprising selection as a finalist, and ultimately being chosen as one of the winners at the prestigious award ceremony, my journey has been nothing short of astonishing," said Price. "This recognition is not just about me; it symbolizes the collective effort of an exceptional organization and the supportive community that surrounds it. Together, as a School of Rock tribe, we are transforming lives, and I am grateful to be a humble roadie in this incredible journey."

As a New England award winner, Price is now eligible for consideration for the Entrepreneur Of The Year 2023 National Awards. The National Award winners including the Entrepreneur Of The Year National Overall Award winner will be announced in November at the Strategic Growth Forum®, one of the nation's most prestigious gatherings of high-growth, market-leading companies. The Entrepreneur Of The Year National Overall Award winner will then move on to compete for the World Entrepreneur Of The Year® Award in June 2024.
