SACS Accreditation

    What is Accreditation?

    Charlotte High will be participating in the Southern Association Accreditation process this year.  This process occurs every 5 years and is a voluntary method of quality assurance developed more than 100 years ago by American universities and secondary schools, and designed primarily to distinguish schools adhering to a set of educational standards.  The accreditation process is also known in terms of its ability to effectively drive student performance and continuous improvement in education. Today accreditation examines the whole institution—the programs, the cultural context, the community of stakeholders—to determine how well the parts work together to meet the needs of students.  Charlotte High sees the accreditation process as an opportunity to build true capacity to improve student learning and make continuous school improvement a distinctive reality.
