Accreditation Renewal For Johnsburg School Principal Bill Hayes of Johnsburg high school has announced that the school's accreditation has been extended through the 1979-80 school year following the review and aproval of its annual report at the North Central association's annual meeting. Accreditation is for one year at a time and must be renewed annually. "Once every seven years each NCA school must un­ dergo a comprehensive self- study followed by an NCA evaluation team review," Principal Hayes explained. "Because Johnsburg high school is a new school, it has not been previously evaluated. In (he interim years, a school is accredited on the basis of its report on conditions existing . in the school and on such sup­ plementary information as the Commission on Schools requests. Our report for 1979- 80 assures us of ongoing NCA membership and ac­ creditation. This continued accreditation means that the conditions for effective education exist in the school." The North Central association is the largest of the country's regional ac­ crediting agencies. It is a voluntary league of over 4,700 schools and 850 colleges and universities'^] 19 states, plus the Defragment of Defense Dependent Schools throughout the world. A total of 627 schools are accredited in Illinois. The association works with individual schools to improve the quality of education through a continuous process of evaluation and ac­ creditation. Dr. John S. Kemp, NCA state director at the University of • Illinois, congratulated Johnsburg high school on its continued accreditation for 1979-80. He added, "The school has been a member of the North Central association since 1978 and in all those years it has been fully accredited. This should be a matter of satisfaction to the students and the parents of the school, since accreditation gives assurance that the school meets those minimal yet rigorous preconditions for e f f e c t i v e e d u c a t i o n established by the association. Through this voluntary ' membership in the NCA, the school and 'he people in the district have committed themselves to the pursuit of quality education." 0 in Three's a Crowd If you have three kids, you no longer have Impossible Dreams.
