Recognized for Innovation, Leadership and Educational Excellence Using Technology Across The Entire Education System

Elizabeth Forward is pleased to announce it has been recognized as an Apple Distinguished School District. School districts apply and are selected for this distinction based on their commitment to continuous innovation in education across all schools in the system, and using Apple products to inspire, imagine, and impact teaching and learning districtwide. Elizabeth Forward was among only 17 U.S. school districts that received this recognition this year. 

“We are honored to be recognized as an Apple Distinguished School District,” said Keith Konyk, Superintendent of Elizabeth Forward School District. “This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our educators, students, and staff who are committed to creating an innovative and dynamic learning environment.”

Apple Distinguished Schools are centers of leadership and educational excellence, with a clear vision for how technology-rich environments support learning goals. In Apple Distinguished Schools, forward-thinking leaders and their communities work to inspire, imagine, and impact teaching and learning, and they have documented results of academic accomplishments.

Schools all over the world are using iPad and Mac to transform learning. As teachers incorporate technology into their lessons, they empower students to lead, learn, and thrive, to discover new opportunities, and to make their world a better place.
