CLOVIS WEST RECOGNIZED

FOR CLOSING ACHIEVEMENT GAP

Nineteen Clovis Unified schools have been singled out by California’s business community for breaking down barriers to student learning. The schools are 19 of the 1,304 California public schools announced today as 2009 Honor Roll Schools by California Business for Education Excellence (CBEE) Foundation. The CBEE Honor Roll is made up of two different awards, the Star Schools Award (395 schools) and Scholar Schools Award (909 schools).

“It is clear that dedication, hard work and high standards continue to pay off for students in our district,” said Superintendent Dave Cash, Ed.D. “Having this prestigious business organization recognize so many of our schools means that we are on the right track in improving the lives of all students in our community,” Cash said.

Cedarwood, Century, Copper Hills, Dry Creek, Freedom, Garfield, James S. Fugman, Liberty, Maple Creek, Red Bank, Riverview and Valley Oak elementary schools and Clovis West High School received the Scholar Honor Roll award for achieving significantly high levels of student achievement by every student subgroup.

“Schools on the Honor Roll dispel the myth that certain students can’t reach grade-level proficiency and that schools with a challenging student population won’t be able to succeed,” said Greg Jones, CBEE Chair. “These schools are overcoming challenges every day.” For more information about the award program and the CBEE Foundation visit www.cbee.org.
