Microsoft recently announced Ursuline Academy of Dallas as a 2025-2026 Microsoft Showcase School, marking the ninth consecutive year that UA Dallas has garnered this prestigious recognition. Ursuline is the only school in Texas to receive the Microsoft Showcase designation, and one of thirty two in the United States.

According to Microsoft, Showcase schools are "exceptional educators and institutions at the forefront of educational transformation, harnessing the power of technology to enhance learning experiences and inspire the next generation of learners."

The Microsoft Showcase program also recognizes individuals as Microsoft Innovative Educator (MIE) Experts and Microsoft Certified Educators (MCEs). These are leaders who are transforming education through technology. They foster collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking, creating engaging learning environments.

We are excited to introduce the 2025-2026 list of Ursuline MIEEs and MCEs, who encourage creative and innovative uses of digital resources in the classroom.
