St. Jerome
The Middle States Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools announce that St. Jerome Regional School, Tamaqua, has been awarded re-accreditation by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.
St. Jerome was one of about 200 schools honored by the two commissions.
MSCESS accreditation signifies the educational community of St. Jerome has engaged in a rigorous process of developing self-knowledge, has hosted an evaluation team of independently appointed educators and has created an ongoing Strategic Plan to move school improvement forward. This year-long, self-study process involved many elements of the St. Jerome community, including faculty, parents and students.
Accreditation also signifies that St. Jerome has met the Middle States Standards for a quality school. These standards reflect current research and best practices from throughout the education profession.
During the term of accreditation the school community will engage in a commission-directed series of reports and/or site visits to maintain the vigor of the accreditation process.
