CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR CALIFORNIA DISTINGUISHED SCHOOLS

CONGRATULATIONS TO GRACE THILLE & THELMA BEDELL ON BECOMING A CALIFORNIA DISTINGUISHED SCHOOL!

As per the Press Release by State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell, 484 exemplary California public elementary schools were selected as 2010 California Distinguished Schools. The list of schools may be viewed online at the California Department of Education.

Schools earning the Distinguished School title agree to share their signature practices with other schools and serve as a mentor to other educators who want to replicate the work. An updated searchable database of these signature practices will be available later this spring by the California Department of Education.

The California School Recognition Program is now in its 24th year and honors the state's most exemplary and inspiring public schools with the California Distinguished School Award. Although participation is voluntary, the award is highly sought after by schools in all areas of the state. Elementary and secondary schools are recognized during alternate years.

Congratulations to the Principals, Teachers, Classified Staff, Parents and Students at each of these school sites!
