Cane River Faculty Working Toward Re-accreditation Hie Cane River High School faculty is working toward re accreditation by the State De partment of Public Instruction. Their goal is two fold: (1) to be re-accredited by the state (I) initial accreditation by the Sou thern Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. Each tea cher is doing a revised course of study for each subject taught as part of this process. Also each depar ment is being evalu ated and upgraded for this pur pose. The primary purfiose of ac credi'ation is to prouie self evaluation and improvement in the school as a means of ach ieving dcMrable educational goals for all giris and boys. To be accredited implies a school has met certain standards set up by the State Department of Public Instruc ion or by one of the regional associations. A continuous evaluation of the school program is essential in today’s rapidly changing society. A school which might Ijave been good in the past is probably In adequa'e today and a school that is adequate today may be obsolete tomorrow.
