Necedah, Wonewoc-Center declared promise schools
By Gail Boehm, Star-Times
State Superintendent Tony Evers praised Necedah Middle/High School for being among 138 schools in the state that received Wisconsin Promise School of Recognition honors for the 2009-10 school year during a special Oct. 20 ceremony at the State Capitol in Madison.
Evers welcomed Peggy Saylor, principal, and Charlie Krupa, superintendent, to the recognition event.
To be recognized, schools must be among those with the highest poverty rates in the state, have met adequate yearly progress goals under federal education law for the past two years and have student achievement on state mathematics and reading assessments that is higher than schools with similar poverty levels and grade configurations.
