Glenbrook School of Minden has received an international honor.

According to Darden Gladney, Glenbrook Head of School, “We are proud to announce that Glenbrook School of Minden has been named a 2024 Cognia School of Distinction for excellence in education. This achievement recognizes our school’s exceptional commitment to improving each day for our students.”

Accreditation from Cognia is a valuable mark of distinction recognized around the world. Each year, Cognia identifies schools that best exemplify excellence in education and stand out in their service to learners, based on Cognia’s rigorous accreditation process.

This honor is a recognition of schools which are memorable within Cognia for outstanding exemplification of the Cognia Performance Standards.

During the 2023-2024 school year, nearly 4,000 schools and systems were approved by the Cognia Global Commission for new or continued  accreditation, and 49 schools and 11 systems, from 20 states and 7 countries, were recognized as Cognia Schools of Distinction. Even more notable, one Louisiana school, Glenbrook School of Minden, is among the schools selected for this international honor.

On October 4, 2024, Christina McCreary, Cognia Director – Southeast Region, traveled from Oklahoma to present the recognition plaque and join the celebration of this accomplishment in an assembly attended by the student body of Glenbrook School.
