This December 2019, Tony Thurmond, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, announced that 323 elementary schools are being honored the award of 2020 California Distinguished School. This program recognizes outstanding education programs and practices. Schools are awarded for closing the achievement gap and also for their exceptional student performance. According to Thurmond, “These outstanding schools don’t just educate students; they also provide the young people of California the tools they need to be successful after graduation.” It takes a village to educate our youth - parents, family, along with our dedicated teachers and support staff. So, congratulations to our Vintage community.  Read more about this award at: www.cde.ca.gov/nr/ne/yr19/yr19rel85.asp
