What is Accreditation for Growth?

 On behalf of the entire Holmdel High School community, we would like to welcome you to the high school Accreditation for Growth (AFG) website.

 The Holmdel High School community has been preparing for the upcoming Middle States visitation for accreditation.  The mission of the Middle States Commission on Secondary Schools is:

The Middle States Commission on Secondary Schools (MSCSS), the premier American regional accreditation agency, is the leader in ensuring that all students in its region receive the highest quality of education and achieve at levels expected by society. Through its accreditation and school improvement services, MSCSS recognizes excellence in educational quality, planning, and growth in student performance and provides the means to meet rigorous standards of educational quality.

Since the 2006-2007 school year, students, faculty, and parents have been involved in the planning of our vision and mission for the next seven years.  The AFG Planning Team which consists of students, parents, teachers, and administrators surveyed over 700 students, 85 staff members, and 85 parents during a self study process on twelve academic standards.  From this data, specific school objectives were formed and action plans were developed to track our progress towards these school objectives.

Please click on the other links to view our two objectives and also to see the specific action plans that will be implemented over the next seven years. 

We eagerly anticipate the Middle States visit from October 20^th through the 23^rd and look forward to achieving our goals and reaffirming Holmdel’s commitment to excellence.
