PRESS RELEASE

Subject: OSPI 2015 Career Guidance Award of Excellence Date: Tuesday, February 17, 2015 Contact Person: Dr. William J. Wadlington, Superintendent/Principal

Congratulations! Your school or school district has received the OSPI 2015 Career Guidance Award of Excellence. Thank you for submitting a thorough application to describe the outstanding work you are doing to help students get more college and career ready before graduating from high school and/or for being a vital part of the College Readiness Initiative for college & career readiness. A list of the schools for the award is attached.

In order to recognize your school, we are hosting a webinar on Tuesday, February 17 from 1:00-3:00 pm. Hosting a webinar, rather than having an in-person meeting was suggested to help school leaders not have to travel and miss one more day of school. However, if you would like to have a live presence, we welcome you to join us at OSPI!

The Career Guidance Award of Excellence recognizes middle and high schools that operate highly effective, inclusive guidance and counselling programs. These award-winning schools take advantage of resources available through Career Guidance WA to maintain high standards and a clear process for college and career readiness. Their goal: every student ready for career, college and life.
