VOL, 2, NO . 4 NOTRE DAME HIGH SCHOOL 7 FRIDAY, Feb, 20, 1970 Notre ACCREDITATION Dame Under Scrutiny BY George Korson Our noble and renouned ln- stitute ol higher education is currently under scrutiny by the Western Association of Schools 81 Colleges. The reason for this observation by the WASC ts to establish the alms, objectives and successiulness of the Notre Dame l-llgh School program, the satisfactory result being anac- credltatlon. This accredltatlon ls a very prized and prestigious award. The accreditation usually lasts a period oi five years, although accredihons of one year are given to schools who are not Iully up to the standards set by the WASC, Graduating seniors reap the rewards of this ac- creditation. The Admission Dl- rectors at various colleges not only check into the students aca- demic record, but also take into consideration the type otaccred- ltation that has been issued tothe school. ln order to recelve a lull accreditation, the school under evaluation must otier a well- balanced program. The WASC takes many different aspects into consideration. The committee WASC spends ap- three days viewing functions and acti- sent by the proximately the various vitles of the school. Among the items to be considered are the library, the amount, type and quality or the books and the stu- dent- teacher ratio. The com- mittee carefully checks the qualifications of the teachers I.n the school, and also observes the efforts made by the adminis- tration to e s tab lls h communi- cation between ltself and the parents of the students. The progress which a school has made since its last accred- ltatlon ls another important item. This progress ls proven by the addition of elective pro- grams, new teaching methodoloy, and other increased studentbene- tits. However, in keeping with the plan to evaluate the whole school, the WASC committee also examines the athletic records the school has obtained. Notre Dame was last accredited ln 1965, and the five year accred- itation that it received expires ln June. The committee presently ,Q SEVERAL members ofthe Accreditation committee. evaluating the school is todeclde whether or not another accred- itation is in order. Notre Dame, with the progress it has enjoyed over the past ln academics, ath- letics and other school functions ls ln no danger ot losing its accreditation. Notre Dame has well lived up to its title as a college preparatory school, since 90711 of its graduates go on to college: 4'7'Z, to junior collegesg 4395 to four year colleges. In the past tive years, Notre Dame has introduced to its program new teaching methodology, lncludlng closed clrcult televlslon, also driver education, computer scl- ence, and extexwlve language learning equipment.
