Many of the school sites in the above districts have also received Web site awards! We're proud to say that the list has become too long to list them all. This is due, in large part, to the fact that our schools keep their sites current and informative (which is an easy task considering that School Webmasters does the updates for them and sends the staff reminders to help them let us keep their sites that way).

The criteria varies among the various organizations providing the honor. However, some of the criteria that is recognized by the Internet and Education communities are provided below:
