Members of a visiting team from the Western Association of Accrediting Schools and Colleges are currently doing a two-day review on the accreditation status of Hopwood Junior High School, whose six-year accreditation expires this year.<\/p>\n
Robert Maez, chairperson of the accrediting team, arrived on Sunday with members Richard Anbe and Roberta Abaday. They met with parents of HJHS students that same evening. <\/p>\n
Yesterday, the team met with PSS officials Tim Thornburgh, Federal Programs adviser, and Charles Kenty, who is associate commissioner for Administrative Services and director of Finance. <\/p>\n
According to HJHS principal Christine Tudela-Masga, the WASC representatives are also inquiring about the school\u2019s academic programs and available resources. They will also offer recommendations that would help the school maintain its accreditation.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s all part of the accreditation process,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
The WASC representatives are scheduled to present their report of their findings and recommendations this afternoon at 3pm at the Hopwood campus. <\/p>\n
Anbe and Abaday are scheduled to leave later tonight while Maez will remain on island to visit the Gregorio T. Camacho Elementary School, Marianas High School and Garapan Elementary School. <\/p>\n
Other schools that will be visited by the accrediting team this year are San Vicente Elementary School, Oleai Elementary School, Rota Junior High, and Sinapalo Elementary School. <\/p>\n
Last month, WASC representatives visited the Northern Marianas College and Tanapag Elementary School.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
