FLORENCE, AL – The 海角社区’s Anderson College of Nursing and Health Professions has been recognized as an Apple Distinguished School for the 2025-2028 program term.

“We are honored to be named an Apple Distinguished School,” said Dr. Tera Kirkman, Dean of the College. “We are committed to the success of our students. It is our belief that the use of technology is one way to offer them an enriched educational experience, ensuring they are practice-ready healthcare providers.”

Schools apply and are selected for this distinction based on their commitment to continuous innovation in education and using Apple products to inspire, imagine, and impact teaching and learning. Apple Distinguished Schools are centers of leadership and educational excellence, with a clear vision for how technology-rich environments support learning goals.

In Apple Distinguished schools, forward-thinking leaders and their communities work to inspire, imagine, and impact teaching and learning, and they have documented results of academic accomplishments. Schools all over the world are using iPad and Mac to transform learning. As teachers incorporate technology into their lessons, they empower students to lead, learn, and thrive, to discover new opportunities, and to make their world a better place.
