New England Association of Schools and Colleges Accreditation Visit
March 17 - 20
Sixteen educators will conduct an on-site Accreditation visit of Kingswood Regional High School on March 17th through March 20th. Principal Guy Donnelly announced today. The Accreditation visit will be conducted under the direction of the Committee on Public Secondary Schools of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. The visiting team will be chaired by Mark Friese Principal, Stonington High School, Stonington CT. Mr. Friese has had extensive experience in the Association’s Accreditation process. Principal Donnelly said, "The purpose of this Accreditation visit is to review and determine from an outside professional viewpoint the extent to which the school is aligning with the Standards for Accreditation. As part of the evaluation, the visiting team will meet with all school constituents, review the school’s self-study, visit a number of classes, and examine examples of student work submitted by the school. During the comprehensive self-study, the faculty attempted to identify the school's strengths and determined those areas in which changes would be beneficial. The goal of an Accreditation visit is to stimulate a continuing drive for improvement in the school."
