WASC Accreditation
We are excited to announce that PVHS has received the official word regarding WASC accreditation.
It is the decision of the Commission to grant PVHS a Six-Year Accreditation Status with a Mid-cycle One-day Visit through June 30, 2024.
What does this mean? There are four main levels of WASC Accreditation Status:
1. 6-Year clear, with a mid-cycle report 2. 6-Year clear, with a mid-cycle visit:
- 6-year, with a one-day visit
- 6-year, with a two-day visit
3. Probationary Accreditation Status:
- 1-year visit
- 2-year visit
4. Accreditation Status withheld
About 80% of schools get a 6-year, with a two-day visit.

AP CAPSTONE EXHIBITION
On Wednesday night, AP Capstone Seminar students shared their projects with the community. Students displayed their team and individual projects. They spoke eloquently about their process, research and experience. We are so proud of their accomplishments. In particular, we want to
congratulate Roger Zhang and Catalina Murray, and wish them the best of luck in college.
Do you want to know more about AP Capstone?
Capstone is a unique opportunity for students to pursue their academic interests. It
equips students with the independent research, collaborative teamwork, and communication skills that are increasingly valued by colleges. It cultivates curious, independent scholars and prepares them to make logical, evidence-based decisions.
