In February, we were informed that Marshall Lane had qualified to apply for the prestigious California Distinguished School Award.  A small group of our school’s staff members, parents, district office staff members, and two consultants from the Santa Clara County Office of Education worked hard to write an application that highlighted some of the strengths of our wonderful school.

It is with great pleasure that we report to you that State Superintendent of Schools Tom Torlakson emailed us today congratulating us for earning the California Distinguished School Award.  This is a great accomplishment since it represents the hard work of all of our dedicated staff members, wonderful students, and amazingly supportive community members.  Congratulations to all!  Representatives will accept the award on May 3rd in Anaheim.
