This inaugural initiative celebrated schools that demonstrated outstanding performance and innovation across multiple dimensions of student learning and wellbeing.

School leaders, administrators, and education professionals were invited to complete a detailed online survey, providing quantitative and qualitative data about their school’s programs, initiatives, and outcomes.
