Cambridge International Formally Recognizes the District as District of The Year

Cambridge International, part of the University of Cambridge and the world's largest provider of international education programs, has officially honored the School District of Lee County with the U.S. District of the Year Award plaque this week during a recognition ceremony at Lee County Public Education Center.

"We are extremely proud to have received this recognition," said Dr. Jeff Spiro, Chief Academic Officer. "Cambridge International provides us with a curriculum that challenges our students and expands access to opportunities that allow students to reach their full potential. This award demonstrates the hard work of our students and teachers, and we look forward to ensuring that all our students have access to educational opportunities that support students in their pathways to college and career."

Cambridge International's U.S. District of the Year Awards recognizes school districts that have consistently strong student performance in their schools, continue to expand their offering of subjects of the Cambridge Pathway, and provide students in all high schools in their district the opportunity to participate in the Cambridge program.

The School District of Lee County received the District of the Year Award in the large district category for the 2021-2022 school year. First partnering with Cambridge International in 2007 in a handful of schools, Lee County Schools has now expanded Cambridge's rigorous programs to 42 schools in the district.

“We are so humbled to have formally recognized the School District of Lee County with the District of the Year Award plaque,” said Mark Cavone, Regional Director of Cambridge International, North America. “This award demonstrates the hard work Lee County teachers and school and district leaders have put in to ensure all students have access to rigorous coursework that prepares them for their college and career. Congratulations are in store for the School District of Lee County.”
