The academic success of students at Whitewater High has earned the school a membership in the Successful Practices Network.

The network, sponsored by the International Center for Leadership in Education, is non-profit collaboration of good schools that are striving to become great schools. Through the network, the staff at Whitewater will exchange best instructional practices, successful methodologies and peer support with other member schools.

Schools selected for membership must show evidence of a deep commitment to meeting the needs of all students and to professional development to assist teachers in providing a rigorous and relevant education for every student. Most schools selected are promising schools that want to become proven models of success.

Network members identify their own improvement priorities and technical assistance needs as well as the experience and know-how they can share with other schools. Each school works through an assigned liaison to establish contact with other schools, master teachers and senior consultants who can provide research, data and approaches that otherwise might not be accessible to local educators.
