Other team members includ- ed, Kelly Salter with the McConnell Foundation, Marynn Kae-Munson, Nathan Zorn, and Becky Nail from College Options, Rob Adams and Brad Clagg from the Redding School District, Cheryl Olsen from the Enter- prise School District, and Charlene Ramont, Shasta County Health Equity Coordinator. The mission of our group was to learn what the No Excuses sys- tem is all about and aid in the imple- mentation of this system in schools across the North State. The No Excuses University net- work of schools is the vehicle by which like-minded educators from across the nation link together to create school cultures and systems that ulti- mately result in every student being college ready. Educators at these schools are committed to coaxing remarkable academic success from every student, without exception and without excuse – even students who bring the greatest challenges to the classroom. Every No Excuses University has a well-defined process for identifying and creating the exceptional sys- tems of Culture of Uni v ersal Achievement, Collaboration, Standards Align- ment, Assess- ment, Data Analy- sis, and Interventions. Staff members at No Excuses Schools are com- mitted to insuring that every student is prepared for college, courageous in their endeavors to put the students' needs first, col- laborative as a staff to create the exceptional systems, creative, charac- ter centered — explicitly teaching and modeling behavior and academic expectations — and of course, col- lege crazy as they promote college for all. In addition, every No Excuses Uni- versity campus works diligently to expose students to powerful college symbolism. This symbolism is seen in the college flags and banners hung on every door, felt through the close part- nerships forged between classrooms and universities, and heard in the col- lege chants that exist at each grade level. The No Excuses Universi- ty is the perfect companion to Expect More Tehama's effort to assure that the students of Tehama County leave high school equipped with the tools to be successful in col- lege and beyond. Richfield School will be Rich Gifford network. It is the duty of every educator to assure that our students are given every opportunity for success in life. No Excuses means just that. Rich Gifford is the superintendent and principal at Richfield School.This year Richfield qualified to apply for the California Distinguished School selection process.
