Ypsilanti Community Schools recognized as Michigan’s first ‘System of Distinction’

Ypsilanti Community Schools became the first school district in the state of Michigan to earn recognition as a System of Distinction from its accreditation provider, the Cognia Global Network
.

YCS was one of 39 school systems out of the 1,500 schools or school systems worldwide to earn the System of Distinction award, which Cognia began awarding last year.
 

The recognition is a reflection on the entire Ypsilanti community and its commitment to work with the school district to continuously improve in meeting the needs of students, said Superintendent Alena Zachery-Ross.
