California Distinguished Schools Program

The California Distinguished Schools Program is on hiatus while California transitions to new assessment and accountability systems. In lieu of Distinguished Schools, we will be presenting the California Gold Ribbon Schools Award to honor our schools. The new award will recognize middle and high schools in 2015 and elementary schools in 2016.
