“By working together with an engaged and innovative business community, we can create economic opportunities for the next generation of learners,” said Ivan Volschenk, President/CEO of the SCV Chamber. “The Santa Clarity Valley Chamber proudly recognizes high-performing schools that are equipping students with the essential skills needed to succeed in the workforce and in life.”

The program is part of a national effort to engage business leaders in recognizing successful schools and educational systems and to promote the best practices that improve student outcomes. Honor Roll schools are recognized for demonstrating consistently higher levels of student achievement comprehensively across all student populations, improvement in academic achievement over time, and a reduction in achievement gaps among historically disadvantaged student populations. Data made publicly available by the California Department of Education for the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress for the years 2022-2024 was used to conduct the analysis.

“ERP is all about improving educational equity and promoting career readiness for all students, regardless of family income, background or ZIP code,” said Lanich. “By shining a light on successful systems and practices, we hope to spark dialogue amongst educators to replicate best practices throughout the state.”
