Accreditation team to visit Lapeer East

A Quality Assurance Review team from the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement will be at Lapeer East High School on Thursday, December 10th and Friday, December 11th for a visit.

The review at East is part of the ongoing process of the continued accreditation of all three District high schools.

A five-year review is required for continued accreditation, something that Lapeer East has had since its opening in January 1976.

Lapeer East has identified as goals the improvement of writing skills and reading and analytical thinking proficiency.

The review calls for an intensive examination of school records and interviews to confirm that the school is working towards the seven standards of the NCA and East’s own goals.

The seven standards of NCA are: Vision and Purpose; Governance and Leadership; Documenting and Using Results; Resource and Support Systems; Stakeholder Communications and Relationships; and a Commitment to Continuous Improvement.

“We look forward to the visit of the Quality Assurance Review team,” said Principal Kelly Paige. “We believe the NCA accreditation process helps keep us focused on providing an outstanding secondary education for our students.”
