The Catholic Schools of the Diocese of Biloxi completed a National Accreditation review through AdvancED in February 2014. All of the schools received recommendations for accreditation.
Accreditation is a set of rigorous protocols and research-based processes for evaluating an institution’s effectiveness. The accreditation review examined the school system to determine how well the parts work together to meet the needs of the students. Accreditation is inextricably linked to institution and educational system improvement. The process of earning and maintaining accreditation provides institutions and educational systems with clear and compelling direction for continuing to move toward excellence.
The Catholic Schools of the Diocese of Biloxi were first accredited as a system through AdvancED in 2009 and have again been recommended for system accreditation. All of the schools in the Diocese of Biloxi are also accredited through the Mississippi Department of Education.
Superintendent of Education is Dr. Mike Ladner. Assistant Superintendent of Education, Dr. Rhonda Clark, chaired the accreditation committee.
