To receive a merit award, MSA member schools must submit a detailed application that is scored by a panel of educators. These schools are judged on their demonstrated ability to raise student academic achievement, promote racial and socioeconomic diversity, provide integrated curricula and instruction, and create community partnerships that enhance the school’s theme.
Todd S. Mann, Executive Director of Magnet Schools of America, and MSA President Doreen Marvin will present the award on Friday, April 24. To learn more about the national merit awards program, visit www.magnet.edu
