The district is proud to have been named a Fall “Lighthouse” School System by the School Superintendents Association (AASA). Mineola is one of eight districts that have been recognized by the organization as models of innovation and transformative change in public education.

Districts were reviewed based on strategies and innovations including Social, Emotional and Cognitive Growth, Future-ready Learners, Technology-enhanced Learning, Community Alignment and other factors.

As a designate, we join a prestigious network of forward-leaning, urban, suburban and rural school districts engaged in learning, networking and working together to help drive education policy and ultimately transform education and improve student learning.

AASA, founded in 1865, is the professional organization for more than 13,000 educational leaders in the United States and throughout the world. AASA’s mission is to support and develop effective school system leaders who are dedicated to equitable access for all students to the highest quality public education.
