Following a recent three-day examination from a SAC CASI Quality Assurance Review Team representing the accreditation association of AdvancED, the Haralson County School System received district accredited for the first time in the system’s history.  Following the team’s review of the system, the team commended the system for undertaking the accreditation process; its high level of professional development; the embedding of effective uses of data to support decisions and instruction; the system’s strategic emphasis on leadership training and skill exemplified in the board’s Board of Distinction status; the highly loyal and dedicated teaching force; the long-range strategic thinking and planning; and the strategic work aligned teaching process. 

“[You all] are doing outstanding work. We recommend that you be accredited by AdvancED,” Chairman, Dr. Drew Moore said. “This has been most remarkable because of what Haralson has done. Coming in, we were very aware of the financial cutbacks taking place in Haralson. We have found an educational system that’s truly astounding, regardless of financing. They have put student learning as a priority and kept it that way.”
