National School of Distinction

 




Diggs-Latham Elementary Visual & Performing Arts A+ Magnet School Named Magnet School of Distinction by Magnet Schools of America


We are so honored and pleased to announce that our school has been named a National Magnet School of Distinction by Magnet Schools of America, the national association for magnet and theme-based schools. 


Our school will be recognized and receive a National Magnet School of Distinction Award during an awards ceremony held at Magnet Schools of America’s 40th National Conference hosted by Dallas Independent School District, April 18-22, 2023.


To receive a national merit award, members of Magnet Schools of America must submit a detailed application that is scored by a panel of educators. These schools are judged and scored on their demonstrated ability to raise student academic achievement, promote racial and socioeconomic diversity, provide integrated curricula and instruction, and create strong family and community partnerships that enhance the school’s magnet theme.
