NEASC Decennial Visit

I wanted to share a recent press release regarding the NEASC Decennial Visit to Joel Barlow High School, scheduled for November 16–18, 2026. This visit marks the culmination of a decade-long accreditation process and provides an opportunity to reflect on the progress we have made as a school community.

During the three day visit, a team of educators will observe classrooms, meet with administrators, teachers, support staff, students, and parents, and review evidence of our progress in four priority areas identified during our self-reflection process: Collaboration, Curriculum, Vision of the Graduate, and Capital Planning.

The visiting team will gain a deeper understanding of who we are as a school community, our values and core beliefs, and the work we have done to support student learning and growth. We welcome this opportunity to showcase Joel Barlow High School, our exceptional students, and our dedicated staff.

Please see the press release linked here.

Respectfully,
Mario J. Almeida, Ed.D.
Assistant Superintendent, Head of School
