Testimonials from Education

Don’t just take it from us. Here’s what leaders in education say:

Baldrige [offers] the only Education Criteria that actually [enable a school system] to compare itself against other organizations … that show you what world-class looks like…. When we improve, children are successful.”
—Dr. Terry Holliday, Former Superintendent, Iredell-Statesville Schools, 2008 Baldrige Award Recipient

“We felt that the Baldrige process was best to meet our mission statement ... that all students can and will learn. We passionately believe that, and we looked for a model that would get us to that level of achievement. The Baldrige process works for us.”
— Richard E. Maurer, Superintendent, Pearl River School District, 2001 Baldrige Award recipient

“Baldrige really gave us a framework to measure our entire system rather than just look at student test results on a couple of content areas.”
—Bob Crumley, Superintendent, Chugach School District, 2001 Baldrige Award recipient
