Echo Lake was recognized as one of eighteen Apple Distinguished Schools in the United States last fall. The only school in Washington to receive the award, Echo Lake has implemented a 21st Century vision of education using Apple technology.

Three of our educators have been recognized by the Apple Corporation as an Apple Distinguished Educator for possessing an identified expertise in educational technology, as well as being an innovator in the effective implementation of technology in the classroom.

Three of our teachers have received the Teaching + Technology Coaching Initiative through the Puget Sound Center for Teaching, Learning, and Technology. This grant provided training for teachers to coach and provide assistance to colleagues who are working towards integrating technology.

Echo Lake produced and created a documentary about technology integration in the classroom. This documentary, entitled “Technology Engages All Learners”, received the 2005 Aegis Award, Communicator Award and Telly Award, three of the most prestigious awards in video and film.
