Selma High recognized as one of 14 schools in the state to maintain Cognia accreditation for more than a century

Selma High School was recognized at a conference last week for being one of only 14 schools in the state to maintain Cognia accreditation for 100 years or more.

Principal Stoney Pritchett accepted a certificate with state officials, including Gov. Kay Ivey, at Cognia’s Annual Fall Conference held in Montgomery.

The school posted on social media: "We are so proud of Selma High School for over 100 years of outstanding education to scholars all over the world!"
