Twenty-five outstanding California schools were named last by State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson as 2012 Model Continuation High Schools for their programs designed to help students stay in school.
To be eligible for the recognition program, applicants must be accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and demonstrate exemplary program effectiveness in school management, curriculum, instructional strategies, educational climate, and guidance and counseling. As part of the application for recognition, parents, students, and community members are required to submit written statements in support of their schools.
The selected schools retain their title for three years and must file an annual assurance statement of compliance with model school guidelines in order to maintain the designation.
Congratulations to everyone on their hard work and effort!
