PUBLISHED THURSDAY
The Davie County High j
School has been accredited by !
the Southern Association of
Colleges and Secondary
Schools.
The announcement waft
made Tuesday at the annual
meeting of the association in
Miami, Florida. James E. Ev
eridge, Superintendent of the '
Davie County jSchoofc and '
John N. Norton, Principal of j
the Davie Hi«h School, at
tended the meeting and ac
cepted the presentation of
membership into the asaoci- 3
ation.
This accreditation climaxes
two years of work on the part
of the faculty and students
at the Davie County High
School. And, although the
high school has been accepted
the school will be in a con
tinual self-evaluation program
to meet the changing timea. il
The actual work for accre
ditation began in the fall of
'64. Prior to this an applica
tion had been made by the
Davie County Board of Ed- 4
ucation to the Southern As
sociation.
With the approval of thl
county board and the South
ern Association, various com
mittees were organized and
an intensive evaluation of de
partments, activities, adminis
tration, and school faclitiea
was begun under the direction .
of Jesse Carson as co-ordina
tor. When Mr. Carson became
the Superintendent of Rowan
County School, H. A. McCrea
ry succeeded him as coordi
nator.
After the school's careful a
self-study a special commit- *«a
. tee representing the Southern Jj
Association observed t h a
, school in action. This com
-1 mittee came in April, *M, and j
remained for two days. This
committee, which was com
posed of superintendents, sup
ervisors, principals, teachers,
and officials from the Stat*
1 Department of Public Instruc- *
tion, visited each classroom to
observe the teacher-student
learning process, reviewed all
information compiled by the
| various committees, and in
terviewed both facuty and
1 students. One of the purposes
of this visit was to view the j
1 school and community and sea
whether each was adequate*
sly meeting the needs of the
r other.
> j In November of this year
f the Davie High School re*
t ceived notification that it had
I been recommended for mem
t bership by the North Caro
lina committee of the South- j
• ern Association of Colleges
, and Secondary Schools.
The Southern Association is
.an accrediting organization
for all Southern States. To
. be a member is a mark of dis
tinction for the school. The
most important factor in this
evaluation is that it helps
the school to improve its cur-
riculum to meet the chang
ing needs of the students and
the community.
In the past two years Davie |
• County has changed its cur- J
' riculum to offer subjects for 1
! the college-bound student and j
■ for the non-college-bound stu- '
'■ dent, in this two-track prof
■ gram new subjects such as
Distributive Education and
I Office Occupations have giv
>en the non-college-bound atu- »
- dents an opportunity to learn j
■ in the classroom and then to
i apply this knowledge in an |
I on-the-job training program.
- Other courses in advanced
- English, mathematics, and acS- i
ence have been designed for ''
' the college-bound student
1 Besides changes in the cur
-1 riculum, there have been ad- J
■ ditions in clubs and other 1
' school-sponsored activities be- JJ
' cause of student interests and 2
"Acceptance in the South- j
ern Association does not mean
that the Davie County High *
School will stop its evalua- j
tion. Evaluation must go on ]
to meet the constantly chanf- M
ing factors in our society", 1
