Congratulations to all the award recipients!
On Monday, June 10th, 2024, a select few of Alabama’s middle schools were recognized for meeting their school goals as part of the A+ College Ready program. A+ College Ready provides schools with a 3-year grant program that equips and empowers schools and educators to raise expectations for ALL students in their classrooms, leading to better student outcomes. Each school on the grant is expected to test students in the fall of their 7th-grade year. The results act as a baseline score. These same students will test again in the spring of the 8th grade year. If the school scores 60 points higher, it has reached its growth goal. Congratulations to the following schools who reached their goals!
Mary D. Boehm School of Achievement Award
The Mary D. Boehm School of Achievement Award recognizes a school that meets its school goal every year of the three-year grant. Congratulations to Hewitt-Trussville Middle School for attaining this award. Hewitt-Trussville Middle School is in the Trussville City Schools district and started with A+ College Ready in 2020.
