Nov. 2010) – SAS was honored for championing programs that integrate technology into education to engage students, empower teachers and teach 21st century skills, such as advanced data analysis.

Through these programs and others, along with committed employee volunteers, SAS has reached more than 47,000 teachers and 150,000 students. The NCTA 21 Awards are recognized as North Carolina's most prestigious awards, celebrating innovation and excellence in the state.
