NEASC
As part of our ongoing commitment to excellence in education, Attleboro High School is proud to announce our most recent involvement with the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) accreditation process.
NEASC is a renowned accreditation organization that evaluates and supports the continuous improvement of schools. Attaining NEASC accreditation is a testament to our dedication to providing a high-quality learning environment for our students.
To gather your insights, we kindly request that you take a few moments to complete the NEASC Family Survey.
On the night of Family Conferences (January 18) we will be providing Chromebooks for families to take this survey. We are required to have 500 families complete this survey so we are asking that you take a few minutes in order to complete this request. Chromebooks will be located on the second floor near House Offices.
Your input will play a vital role in the accreditation process, shaping the future of Attleboro High School and ensuring that we continue to meet and exceed the highest standards of education.
DECA
As of last week’s District Conference, AHS is now among the award recipients of DECA attention. AHS Marketing Department will be moving on to state level competition in Boston at the DECA State Conference in March.
DECA is a global organization that prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs in high schools and colleges for careers in marketing, finance, hospitality, and management. Through hands-on experiences, competitions, conferences, and leadership opportunities, DECA empowers students to develop crucial business skills, foster innovation, and network with professionals, equipping them for success in the business world.
We are excited to see how our students compete at the state level!
