Two schools get award
Page and High Point Central high schools have both received the Hubert B. Humphrey Jr. School Improvement Award, receiving $5,000 each for professional development.
The award highlights and rewards innovative high schools that improve student achievement through sound educational practices, community outreach and collaborative relationships.
The Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation endowed an annual award at the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro honoring the late senior partner of the Greensboro law firm of Brooks, Pierce, McLendon, Humphrey & Leonard who served as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation from 1981 until his death in 2003.
Update: A list of criteria the foundation used to select the winners. I don't yet have the actual numbers on how Page and HPC compared to other schools.

Do you know what the measurable critera is for these awards? Improvement is definitely a step in the right direction. I understand there are many things that the measure, like student attendance.
