Stern MASS Receives California Gold Ribbon School Award and Title I Academic Achieving School Award
Stern MASS was recognized as a California Gold Ribbon School and Title I Academic Achieving School for its Claim-Evidence-Link writing structure. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson on Tuesday, April 18, 2017, announced that 275 middle schools and high schools are being honored under the Gold Ribbon Schools Awards Program. The California Gold Ribbon Schools Award was created to honor schools in place of the California Distinguished Schools Program, which is on hiatus while California creates new assessment, accountability, and continuous improvement systems. 477 middle schools and high schools applied this year. The Gold Ribbon Awards recognize California schools that have made gains in implementing the academic content and performance standards adopted by the State Board of Education. Congratulations to our teachers, students, and community for this success!
