Eagle, Families!

John Glenn High School is currently going through the WASC Self-Study process to get ready for our WASC visit in February 2025. WASC is the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, which is the accrediting organization for high schools and colleges on the West Coast.

The WASC process is important because it:

• Validates the integrity of the school’s program and student transcripts
• Facilitates transfer of credits to other English-speaking schools — critical for college/university acceptance worldwide, as well as when a student transfers to another high school.
• Fosters the continuous improvement of the school’s programs and operations to support student learning
• Assures a school community that the school is a trustworthy institution for student learning

Your input is very important to this process. Please complete the WASC Parent/Guardian Survey linked below. To complete the survey, please click the link below or go to: tinyurl.com/WASC-Parent

If you have any questions, please reach out to Dr. Mendoza, Asst. Principal.
