State Superintendent June Atkinson recently recognized Winston-Salem Preparatory Academy for its 100-percent graduation rate for the 2011-12 school year.

All 45 of the academy’s seniors graduated, making it one of only 28 schools in the state with that distinction. On Sept. 19, representatives from the districts and schools received plaques at a luncheon held in Durham that also recognized 11 districts with high graduation rates.

“North Carolina reached an all-time high school graduation rate of 80.4 percent last year and these districts and schools played a significant role in this remarkable achievement,” said State Superintendent June Atkinson. “I commend all the superintendents, principals and teachers who worked so hard to make sure more students than ever are graduating high school prepared for college, a career and citizenship.”
