A KEY TO THE FUTURE ACADEMICS The high standards of Quincy High School academics have been rewarded by the University of Michigan and the North Central Association. Of 409 schools accredited by the NCA, 191 had no deviations from the association’s policies and standards, and QHS was one of them. QHS has been accredited by the NCA for 50 consecutive years. It is one of only three schools in the state to maintain this honor. To continue this excellence, the faculty continually updates curriculum and adjusts to meet the needs of students. School improvement committees work on total school curriculum for overall improvement and growth. Semi-annual parent-teacher conferences are held to communicate and cooperate on continued achievement and improvement of student learning. Several students have been recognized by the Quincy Academic Booster Club and the faculty for their outstanding academic achievement. Jim Howard, Tina Briggs, and Glen Hard were named Student of the Month by the QABC. Missy McMichael was selected as the DAR Good Citizen, while Mike McConnell was named SAR Good Citizen. Jim Howard was the Senate Youth Leadership Scholarship Program winner from Branch County. The National Honor Society honors new members each year by admitting them to the national organization on the basis of teacher recommendation. Academic excellence is also recognized through a scholarship program for seniors and an awards assembly for underclassmen. Students are also awarded academic letters for a grade point average of 3.0 or better by the QABC. Bronze, silver, and gold medals are given for the second, third, and fourth years respectively of a 3.0 or better average, and any student who earns a 4.0 receives a gold lamp of knowledge pin. Academics are truly the key to the future, and QHS is proud of all who strive to achieve academically. 2
