Lamorinda Schools Named "California Distinguished Schools"

Acalanes, Campolindo, and Miramonte high schools have been named a California Distinguished School.  With Las Lomas being named a Distinguished School in 2007 and a U.S. Blue Ribbon School in 2008, and Del Oro being named a Model Continuation High School in 2009, the five high schools that can receive state recognition have been honored.
 
The California Distinguished School recognition is based on an application process highlighting signature programs and a site visit to see those programs in action as well as interviewing students, staff, and parents. 
 
As Miramonte Principal Raul Zamora noted, "The Distinguished School award is a reflection of the staff's hard work and dedication on behalf of our students." 
 
Acalanes Principal John Nickerson added, "We are thrilled with the honor and recognition for our unique programs...It is a tribute to the quality work of our students and staff."
 
Campolindo Principal Carol Kitchens summed it up when she stated, "I would like to recognize the student body for their dedication toward academics, the fine staff who work tirelessly everyday, the wonderful involvement from the parent community, and support from the District Office staff and the Governing Board."
 
As Carol accurately notes, our schools are successful due to the outstanding teamwork and support from everyone connected with the schools.  Without the donations from the parent clubs and education foundations and the community's support for bonds and parcel tax, the Acalanes Union High School District could not maintain the level of excellence for which it is known.
 
Congratulations to the students, staffs, and parents at Acalanes, Campolindo, and Miramonte high schools.
