Arrow Electronics, Inc. (NYSE:ARW) presented the St. Vrain
Valley School District in Longmont, Colo. with The Succeeds Prize
for Excellence in Technology-Enabled Learning at a recent ceremony
honoring Colorado public schools and educators in Denver. The
school district received a cash award to support its Innovation
Center, Mobile Innovation Lab, and P-TECH programs, which provide
experiential learning opportunities to develop today’s students
into tomorrow’s leaders, innovators and changemakers.
“We need people who can innovate – who can go from possibility
to practicality, and that’s what we honor with this award,” said
Joe Verrengia, global director of corporate responsibility for
Arrow.
These innovative programs at St. Vrain Valley Schools offer
courses, industry work experience, research opportunities and more
in content areas ranging from aeronautics, robotics, computer
science, and technology, to media, STEM, and entrepreneurship.
Students also have the ability to earn certifications to serve as
drone pilots and information technology support professionals.
By supplying students with such in-demand skills, the St. Vrain
Valley Schools creates a pipeline of “new-collar” workers and
addresses the achievement gap by providing diverse students with a
rigorous and relevant education, ensuring their upward economic
mobility and empowering them to shape their futures.
The Succeeds Prize — a partnership between Colorado’s business
community, KUSA-TV, Colorado Succeeds and mindSpark Learning —
recognizes and rewards Colorado’s transformational public schools
and educators who are driving strong student success. More than 50
schools and district administrators across the state competed for
the awards by demonstrating how they are developing agile learners
and preparing students to thrive in the future.
The award is part of Arrow’s Innovation in Technology awards
launched by the company to honor the world’s brightest innovators
and emerging technologies, transforming ideas into real and
influential achievements that will help people and the communities
in which Arrow works.
