The Southern Association is
one of five regional associations
in the United States. A high
school in any of the five reg
ions desiring accreditation must
carry on a self-evaluation for
two years.
Appalachian High is one of
the few high schools in this
area to be a member of the As
sociation. In fact, it is the only
school in a six-county area made
up of Alleghany, Ashe, Avery,
Mitchell, Watauga, and Madison
counties.
Membership is a goal that all
secondary schools strive to ob
tain. Membership signifies that
the school has met the stand
ards for accreditation in five
areas of school operation:
?1. School plant and facilities.
2. Instructional aids, supplies,
and equipment.
3. The instructional program.
4. School records.
5. Administration.
Since a relatively small per
cent of the secondary schools
are able to meet these stand
ards and consequently only a
small per cent are able to gain
membership, there is consider
able prestige in being a mem
ber of the Association.
