(Palm Coast, FL) –  Flagler Schools is proud to announce that Matanzas High School has been recognized by Solution Tree as a Promising Practices Professional Learning Community (PLC) at Work® for its initial success in raising student achievement through collaborative, data-driven instruction.

This national recognition honors schools that are laying the foundation for sustainable, high-impact professional learning communities. Matanzas High School has demonstrated notable gains in student achievement, particularly among students in Special Education and English Language Learner programs by embedding professional learning into the daily work of educators and maintaining a sharp focus on student learning.

“We are honored to receive this recognition,” said Matanzas High School Principal Kristin Bozeman. “This validates the incredible commitment of our faculty and staff to work together in ensuring every student learns at high levels. We are proud of the progress we’ve made, and even more excited about what lies ahead.”

Schools designated as Promising Practices PLCs at Work® are in the early stages of implementing the PLC process and must show evidence of improved outcomes. The Evidence of Effectiveness Committee noted Matanzas High School’s impressive documentation and outcomes, encouraging the school to apply for full Model School recognition in the future.

As part of this recognition, Matanzas High School will receive a certificate, commemorative flag and digital badge. The school will also be featured on AllThingsPLC.info, a national platform where educators across the country share strategies, resources and success stories related to professional learning communities.

Superintendent LaShakia Moore praised the school’s accomplishment: “This recognition reflects the strength of our district’s commitment to building collaborative cultures focused on student success. We are incredibly proud of the work happening at Matanzas High School, as well as on our other campuses.”
