Cognia is a nonprofit organization that provides quality assurance for schools, school districts, and education service providers. “Accreditation as conferred by the Cognia Global Accreditation Commission provides Santa Rosa County District Schools a nationally recognized mark of quality for our school system,” shared Dr. Karen Barber, Superintendent of Schools. “It demonstrates to our community our commitment to excellence, our willingness to enact meaningful change based on evaluation and feedback, and our desire to be the best we can be on behalf of the students we serve.”
Cognia recognizes schools and districts across the globe that meet rigorous standards focused on productive learning environments, equitable resource allocation, and effective leadership. To earn Cognia Systems Accreditation, a school district must submit to internal and external review. Earning accreditation from the Cognia Global Accreditation Commission means that the school system meets Cognia Performance Standards and maintains a commitment to continuous improvement.

The STEM Certification highlights the work our district is doing to enhance Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics throughout our district. Way to go, SRCDS!
