Washington Achievement Award
Southgate Elementary is a recipient of the 2011
Washington Achievement Award!
"The Washington Achievement Awards celebrate the state's top-performing schools in multiple categories. Award-winning schools share at least one common attribute: the power to profoundly affect student learning." Washington's elementary, middle, high and comprehensive schools are examined using, "the Achievement Index, a database that provides a clear and comprehensive analysis of Washington schools performance."
-The Washington State Board of Education & Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction
Southgate is being recognized for Closing Achievement Gaps. Southgate's performance shows that we are Exemplary (top tier of the index) in this category. To learn more about the Washington Achievement Awards please visit the Education Awards page of the OSPI website. An awards ceremony will be held in April to celebrate the achievements of all schools receiving awards this year.
Southgate is one of a handful of other eastern Washington schools to be honored with a Washington Achievement Award. Way to go Southgate Dragons!! The PTG would like to thank our wonderful teachers, faculty, staff, students and parents! This award reflects the efforts of those who are working to make and keep Southgate an excellent place to learn.
