Willis Jepson Middle School in Vacaville, the school’s staff and students have been named one of 56 middle schools in the country to be added to the 2016 National Forum Schools to Watch list.

Jepson teachers and administration have also been asked to travel to Washington, D.C. this summer to teach other middle schools about teaching and social support strategies that have shown positive results for Jepson students.

Schools to Watch is an initiative launched by the National Forum to Accelerate Middle-Grades Reform in 1999.
