"Our laptop initiative has improved our approach to teaching and learning, and it has changed the motivation of students to learn,” FHS Principal Wayne Morren told the publication. “We are making education more exciting for our students. Most importantly, it has created opportunities for students to successfully experience learning, to gain self-confidence and to become life-long learners.”

Apple representatives will present the Distinguished School Award to FISD and FHS at 7 p.m. Tuesday during the monthly board meeting.
