Two students from Aberdeen Public Schools, along with the district's technology director, have been selected for the 2026 Leadership and Innovation Fellowship. The program, which focuses on developing future leaders in education and technology, will bring together participants from across the region for a series of workshops, mentorship opportunities, and project-based learning experiences.

The students, whose names were announced by the district this week, were chosen based on their academic records, community involvement, and demonstrated interest in using technology to solve real-world problems. The technology director, who has been with the district for several years, was recognized for his work in integrating digital tools into the classroom and expanding access to STEM resources.

Participants in the fellowship will collaborate on initiatives aimed at improving educational outcomes and fostering innovation in school settings. The program runs through the 2026 calendar year and includes both virtual sessions and in-person gatherings. District officials expressed pride in the selections, noting that the recognition highlights the strength of Aberdeen's educational programs and its commitment to preparing students and staff for leadership roles in a rapidly changing world.
