Accreditation
REPORT FINDINGS
We successfully completed our most recent accreditation cycle in March 2018 by earning a full 6-year accreditation term. Our visiting team of three principals and two teachers studied our Self-study report and then spent three days with us from March 21-23, 2018. During their time here, they met with all constituencies of our community and thoroughly studied all aspects of our school. The team was tasked with evaluating our accreditation Self Study report and, through observation and analysis, ensuring that we meet the high standards set by the WCEA (Western Catholic Educational Association).
​
The accreditation team’s report rated us a “Highly Effective” school! In fact, we earned the top rating of “highly effective” in 11 out of the 12 categories, with the only “effective” being in an area where we had already set a goal for ourselves. Wow! We are all so grateful for the support of our entire community throughout this accreditation cycle. We are such an amazing Catholic school and it is so rewarding to have that reflected through our accreditation results.
​
The visiting team listed these aspects as our school’s significant accomplishments:
