Sixteen educators will make an on-site evaluation of Bonny Eagle High School on March 4 through March 7. The evaluation visit will be conducted under the direction of the Commission on Public Secondary Schools of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. Lynda Green, superintendent of SAD 57 in Waterboro, will be chairing the visiting committee.

The purpose of the evaluation visit is to review and determine, from an outside professional viewpoint, the extent to which the school is meeting the standards for accreditation. As part of the evaluation, the visiting committee will meet with all school constituents, review the school’s self-study, visit a number of classes, and examine examples of student work submitted by the school. During the comprehensive self-study, the faculty identified the school’s strengths and determined those areas in which changes would be beneficial.

The members of the visiting committee are contributing their services to the school. This spirit of professional cooperation is one of the noted features of the New England Association. The goal of an evaluation visit is to stimulate a continuing drive for improvement in the school.

There will be a welcoming reception on March 4 held in the cafeteria. Bonny Eagle High School wishes to extend an invitation to the community to come and join the school welcome the visiting committee. For more information please visit the BEHS Web site: sad6.k12.me.us.
