Benefits of Distinguished Status Distinguished has been an honor we are proud

to share with the students, parents, teachers, business partners, the school, and the district. Also coming from a national prospective it has a lot of clout.

We also know we need to work hard to continue to meet these specifications in order to remain distinguished and then focus on areas we can continue to improve.
