Snow Horse Elementary and Sunburst Elementary have earned the prestigious Apple Distinguished School designation for the second time, for the 2024-2027 period.
This accomplishment places both schools among an exclusive group of only 889 schools across 37 countries worldwide to hold the title. Only three schools in Utah have earned this honor and all three schools are part of Davis School District.
The award is given to schools that demonstrate excellence in innovation, leadership and educational effectiveness through the integration of technology into the learning environment. Schools must show how they are using Apple products and resources to foster creativity, enhance student engagement and prepare students for success in a rapidly evolving world.
“The award is not based solely on how technology is utilized,” said Sunburst Elementary Principal Rachel Alberts. “A school must have a culture that embraces risk-taking, equitable access and engaging learning opportunities. This would not be possible without our highly skilled and dedicated teachers.”
Snow Horse Elementary Principal Jenne Talbot said, “Earning the Apple Distinguished School designation reflects the dedication, innovation, and teamwork of our entire community. This award highlights not only our commitment to integrating technology into learning but also the hard work our staff and students have put into building a forward-thinking environment where every child can thrive.”
The district is incredibly proud of the dedication of the staff, students and communities at Snow Horse Elementary and Sunburst Elementary. Earning the Apple Distinguished School designation for 2024-2027 is a testament to their commitment, effort and dedication to educational excellence.
