Fortunately for us, going above and beyond is second nature for our Arcadia Unified team, making this recognition something shared and celebrated across our entire district.” Dana Middle School last received this distinction in 2013. The Arcadia community also recently had a chance to take an inside look at Dana Middle School through Arcadia Unified’s new School Spotlight series. During this spotlight, the school’s students, teachers, staff, and administrators shared more about the work, learning, and community- building that has continued on through distance learning. "I think that Dana creates a safe community for all students regardless of their background,” shared Dana Middle School 7th grader Sophia Ren when asked what she likes most about her school. “The teachers are dedicated to helping students reach their full potential. Dana is a nurturing and fun environment that I look forward to going to every day, even online!" Over the years, every Arcadia Unified elementary and middle school has been named a California Distinguished School. Most recently, Arcadia Unified’s Holly Avenue Elementary and Longley Way Elementary Schools were named 2018 California Distinguished Schools. The California Distinguished Schools Program recognizes elementary and middle and high schools in alternate years, which means honorees hold their California Distinguished School title for two years. Sponsored by the California Department of Education (CDE) and presented by California Casualty, the California Distinguished Schools Program recognizes schools for one of two accomplishments: demonstrating significant gains in narrowing the achievement gap or achieving exceptional student performance. The 2021 California Distinguished Schools honorees will be recognized via a virtual ceremony that the CDE will announce at a later date. Additional details on the California Distinguished Schools program may be found at cde.ca.gov.
