The California Department of Education has named Ceres High School a California Distinguished School! The CDE calls this recognition “one of the state’s most important ways to celebrate exceptional schools, districts, teachers, and classified employees for their innovation, talent, and success in supporting students.” Exceptional student performance and progress toward closing the achievement gap are two of the factors considered in the selection process. CHS is one of only three Stanislaus County schools honored this year! #CaliforniaDistinguishedSchool #TheCeresWay
