We Did It! Rare "Distinguished" National Status! Olympic Career Academy of Engineering Earns Coveted Distinction from the National Academy Foundation/NAFHi AoE Board Members,
Going into this school year, of the 675 career academies serving 100,000 students nationwide, only 4 NAF Academies of Engineering had earned the rare and coveted designation of being awarded the “Distinguished” status. After completing a rigorous audit conducted in March by the NAF central office in NY, Olympic was notified this morning that it had earned the highest designation for career academies across the nation – “DISTINGUISHED.” I appreciate everyone’s commitment towards this rare achievement – the leadership, planning, and execution required since our first applying in 2012 with the support of our community stakeholders to become a NAF career academy of engineering & advanced manufacturing (an amazing accomplishment when you consider we just graduated our 1st class in 2016 that made us eligible to receive this unparalleled award from NAF). Some 2016-2017 School Year Distinctions:
Deeply Appreciative, |
