Quilcene, North Kitsap and Kingston High Schools Have Achieved
Something Special.
Celebration is surely in order! The Olympic ESD (OESD 114) region spread kudos to three schools that earned Accreditation in 2016 – Quilcene School, North Kitsap High School and Kingston High School. OESD Superintendent Greg Lynch and Assistant Superintendent of Teaching & Learning Susan Jung Lathrop visited Quilcene’s January 18, 2017, Board Meeting and North Kitsap’s February 9, 2017, Board Meeting to present the awards honoring the process of public recognition for institutions that meet certain standards of quality. For Washington schools, the Association of Educational Service Districts (AESD) coordinates the process with the state’s nine ESDs. The association has designed a collaborative Accreditation process that combines both internal and external appraisal of the school’s school improvement planning activities and School Improvement Plan (SIP).
