Congrats To Golden Hills Community School!

News from the Solano County Office of Education:

We are thrilled to share with you the news that the Solano County Office of Education’s Golden Hills Community School has earned a 6-year accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).

“This is excellent news for the school as schools receiving accreditation meet the WASC criteria for full accreditation and exhibit a history and support system of providing a high-quality instructional program focused on student achievement.” according to Jay Speck, Solano County Superintendent of Schools.

Full WASC accreditation allows students at Golden Hills that meet all requirements to continue to receive diplomas from the Solano County Office of Education.

At Golden Hills Community School, the dedicated staff provides rigorous standards based education program tailored to the individual academic needs of every student while also supporting their healthy social-emotional development as well as providing positive behavior intervention.

According to Lisette Estrella-Henderson, Associate Superintendent of Student Programs and Educational Services, achieving this accreditation is a milestone for the Golden Hills Community School and is the culminating achievement earned through successfully submitting an extensive application analyzing and describing the programs, objectives and instructional methods, and completing a comprehensive site visit by a WASC team. “This is a proud moment in our campus’ history, and we could not have accomplished this without the leadership of our Director of Alternative Education, Rick Vaccaro, and the commitment and steadfast work and dedication of the entire Golden Hills Community School staff on behalf of the students whom we serve.”

The rigorous WASC accreditation process includes an in-depth evaluation of Golden Hills’ governance structure and operational standards, curriculum, leadership and staff, academic results, and support structures. Accreditation by a respected independent body like WASC ensures that a school is providing students a quality education and addressing their needs to help them succeed.
