EDHS/Vista WASC 2007

In March of 2007, El Dorado High School and Vista High School will be visited by a team of educators as part of our WASC Accreditation process.

The Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) is one of six regional accrediting associations in the United States.

Accreditation is a voluntary dual-purpose process that schools (1) must be worthy of the trust placed in them to provide high-quality learning opportunities and (2) clearly demonstrate continual self-improvement.

An accredited school is focused on a mission and goals for students; it is student-oriented and examines its students' performance continuously; it accepts objective evaluation from a team of outside peer professionals trained by WASC; it maintains a qualified faculty within an effectively organized school; it collaboratively assesses the quality of its educational programs on a regular basis; and it plans for the future.
