The MACUL Technology Award recognizes school districts that integrate technology with purpose, vision, and a strong commitment to student learning. Carrollton Public Schools is a shining example of what that looks like in action.
Serving just over 1,500 students in Saginaw’s Carrollton Township, the district has reimagined what meaningful professional learning can be. Under the leadership of Courtney Callaghan and Stephanie Hayward, Carrollton moved beyond traditional, one size fits all professional development and instead created customized, conference style learning experiences rooted in teacher voice, choice, and authentic classroom practice.
Congratulations Carrollton Public Schools!
