"We all felt we had accomplished extraordinary ACT scores for a public school due to our commitment to the project. We wanted to share our success with other high school educators.
The most beneficial part of the process was the opportunity to reflect in depth on our work and implementation process. It was a great experience to present at a national conference and become a resource for educators and learn from other presenters."

"Winning the Bronze Prize has positioned us among academia's leading Lean Six Sigma thought leaders.

Internally, the competition allowed us to benchmark our approach and results against our academic peers versus the traditional manufacturing industry evaluation."
