Recipients |

The California
Distinguished School Program, initiated in 1985, honors elementary
and secondary schools in alternate years. The School Recognition
Program, created in 1985 as part of the accountability initiative,
communicates and reinforces the educational priorities of the State
Superintendent of Public Instruction and the State Board of
Education. It rewards schools that are successfully implementing
those priorities, and identifies models of achievement for other
schools. |

Science, Math & Engineering Fair Winners |

The goal of
this program is to encourage students in grades 6-12 to learn about
science by doing their own science fair projects. The Fair affords
an opportunity to recognize these students and their mentors for
their efforts. Award winning students at the regional level may go
on to compete at the state and national levels. |

| History Day Winners |
 |
History Day's goal is to promote the study of history
by engaging students in the excitement of historical inquiry and
creative presentation. Participating students gain useful
historical knowledge and perspective, and they develop critical
thinking and problem solving skills that help them manage and use
information now and in the future. Winners at the county level are invited to
compete in the State finals. |
| Mock Trial Winners |
 |
The Mock Trial is designed to demystify the working of our
legal institutions. Teams of high school students study a
hypothetical criminal case, do legal research, are coached by
volunteer attorneys, and present their case in court before
Municipal and Superior Court Judges. Participating students take on
the roles of counsel, witnesses and court clerks. Congratulations
to the Mock Trial Winning Team. |

Schools. Visit this site for more information: http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/sr/br |
