Mineola Middle School Named Apple Distinguished School

Award given through district's initiative with iPads in classrooms.

The Mineola Middle School has been named an Apple Distinguished School for the 2013-14 school year. Only 87 schools in the nation have been selected for the award, which is reserved for those that have demonstrated Apple’s highest vision of a successful 21st-century learning environment. This award was given due to the district’s initiative to enhanced learning for students through iPads for home and school use.

In order to qualify for the award, schools had to be nominated by Apple and then demonstrate, through an application process, that they meet Apple’s vision of success. This vision includes providing visionary leadership, innovative learning and teaching, ongoing professional development, a flexible learning environment and compelling evidence of success.
