WASC grants three-year accreditation to Nuuuli Polytech High School
The Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) has issued an accreditation notice to the local Department of Education, informing them that Nuuuli Polytech High School has been granted accreditation for a period of three years.
The three-year term expires on June 30, 2011. Schools that receive a three-year term will be subject to a two-day visit by a WASC committee during the third year.
WASC has recommended that within the three years, the school must submit a progress report addressing different areas including improved student achievement relative to school wide learning expectations; substantial progress toward correcting critical areas for improvement; and appropriate progress on school wide action plans.
In response to requests made by NPTHS PTA president Ropeti Lesa and Rep. Mary Lauagaia M. Taufete’e, DOE is building an extension for the carpentry class, hired a new teacher for the electricity classes and the vocational education division, and ordered additional supplies and materials for the division of Trades.
Meanwhile, DOE is awaiting the results of the accreditation visit for Manu’a and Samoana High Schools.
