Placer Union High School District

All of our schools, comprehensive, alternative education and our adult school have been accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

Here are just a few of the reasons why WASC accreditation is important to the community and our students:

Assures a school’s community and stakeholders that the school’s purposes are appropriate and being accomplished through a viable education program — a trustworthy institution for student learning;

Validates the integrity of the school’s program and transcripts;

Facilitates transfer of credits to other English-speaking schools — critical for college/university acceptance worldwide;

Provides a peer-reviewed process for regularly examining programs, procedures, and data around school goals and student learning through data analysis, reflection, inquiry, and dialogue;

Builds a professional culture to support the schoolwide action plan;

Fosters the continuous improvement of the school’s programs and operations to support student learning.
