MOOREFIELD HIGH SCHOOL NAMED JOSTENS® RENAISSANCE® SCHOOL OF DISTINCTION
182 Schools Honored with National SchooL-Climate-and-Culture Award
MOOREFIELD, West Virginia, August 25, 2026 — Jostens has announced that Moorefield High School was named as a Renaissance School of Distinction.
The Jostens Renaissance School of Distinction designation was created to celebrate those schools that are making a positive impact on their school climate and culture through executing The Results Formula™: Respect + Reinforce + Recognize + Reward + Relationships = Results™.
"Jostens is honored to recognize our Renaissance Schools of Distinction," said Sara Sausker, Director of Jostens Renaissance Education. “The passion and dedication of the educators and student leaders at these schools are a driving force in building a culture of achievement, pride and belonging. Each of these schools have demonstrated measurable results in the areas of their own focus, often educator morale or academic achievement. At the same time, they create a culture where every student belongs, not just attends. These schools truly create an exceptional environment for both staff and students.”
The School of Distinction Award was achieved by 182 schools across North America and demonstrates the highest level of accomplishment. To reach this level, schools implemented strategies in eight or more separate areas and described and documented their successes through a rigorous application process. Silver is the lowest level, with the fewest requirements, followed by Gold and then Platinum. When a school achieves Platinum level for five consecutive years, they are eligible to apply for Diamond level, which is the ultimate level of recognition a school can receive from Jostens Renaissance.
