Southern Association Evaluates SHS In February eighteen representatives from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools spent three days at Spartanburg High School. The Association evaluates each member school every ten years. Spartanburg High School has enjoyed continuous accreditation by this organization since 1919. The Spartanburg High School philosophy committee was the first of several committees to be organized. Its assign- ment was to write a philosophy for the school, which was reviewed by the entire staff. A committee was then appointed in each department to evaluate the work of the department in terms of the philosophy of the school. The entire staff worked one and one-half years in preparation for the committee's visit. The overall evaluation included not only administrative and teaching staffs and the academic program but also such areas as school facilities, guidance services, student activities, and educational media services. The visiting team examined the reports of the various committees. Classrooms and activity centers were also visited to determine if Spartanburg High School had correctly rated its successes and failures in terms of its philosophy. A report of the committee's visit is sent to the school following the evaluation. 1 The SHS faculty awaits the introduction of the Southern Association committee 16 Faculty Academics
