Accreditation

In 2019, as in 2014 and 2009, the Houston County School District was granted District Accreditation by the AdvancED Accreditation Commission, the national commission that confers the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI) accreditation seal. This means that the district and all schools are accredited, recognizing Houston County across the nation as a quality school district.
 

The accreditation process involves three ongoing components:

1) meeting high-quality standards;

2) implementing a continuous process of improvement; and

3) engaging in quality assurance through internal and external review.

The district’s accreditation is for a five-year term with regular monitoring of progress and reporting occurring during the term.


District Accreditation provides Houston County a nationally-recognized mark of quality for our system overall, as well as all schools within our district. It demonstrates our commitment to excellence, our openness to external review and feedback, and our desire to be the best we can be on behalf of the students we serve. District Accreditation is a rigorous process that focuses the entire school district on the primary goal of creating lifelong learners.
