WASC Follow up.....Here is our Visiting Committee team with Chair Darrell Pechtl in the center, celebrating our report out prior to leaving campus. They loved us...they REALLY, REALLY DID! 


WE DID GREAT!!

The Visiting Committee was very honest, listened carefully to all of the focus groups and stakeholder meetings, including those with students and parents and had nothing but POSITIVES to say about our school! Several noted that they would have their own student enrolled in our school! 

Thank you to Randy Cambou for his dedication and attention to detail as our WASC Coordinator.

Thank you to each of our dedicated and caring Focus Group Leaders and our hard-working Assistant Principals

Thank you to our Department Chairs and members of our Leadership Team

Thank you to our Data Expert Matt Norris

Thank you to ALL of our support staff in dealing directly with WASC and the many details of making this happen this week: 

Ginny Bell
Chris Quarders
Noelle Johnson

And most of all, THANK YOU to the ENTIRE faculty and staff for embracing the true spirit of continuous school improvement and the WASC process! We have some great areas to work on that we know about and we will get to work on that...but let's get to Spring Break first! 

So grateful to work with each of you and so glad we all do what we do!

See the Visiting Committee's rough draft report here and look at the last three pages for the overall "Critical Areas of Strengths" and "Critical Areas of Growth". 


And, with permission, here is Mr. Moses celebrating.....
