Mineola High School is the grand-prize winner of a national contest that asked participants to describe how they are preparing students for the 21st century.
The school took the top spot in the 2020 Follett Challenge for its video entry, "Empowered Students: Preparing Students for the 4th Industrial Revolution," which outlined how the school is providing opportunities for students to create their own paths. The contest was coordinated by the Follett Corp., an Illinois-based education solutions company.
