Three Huntsville City Schools are among 32 other schools across Alabama which have been named Schools of Distinction by the Council for Leaders in Alabama Schools (CLAS). CLAS will host an awards luncheon in April to recognize these schools and showcase their programs and service to students.
From State School Board District 8, Schools of Distinction from HCS include Chaffee Elementary, Hampton Cove Elementary, and Mountain Gap Middle.
“Congratulations to these exceptional Alabama public schools,” said Dr. Farrell Seymore, executive director of the Council for Leaders in Alabama Schools (CLAS). “The CLAS Schools of Distinction showcase the powerful and meaningful learning experiences happening in public education throughout our state. I applaud the educators, students, families, and community partners at each recognized school for their steadfast dedication and daily pursuit of excellence.”
The CLAS Banner School program was created in 2001 to recognize schools in Alabama that showcase outstanding programs and service to students. Statewide, 189 schools were nominated for this prestigious recognition.
