Eastland-Fairfield Career & Technical Schools is proud to announce that both campuses have been recognized as Jostens Renaissance Schools of Distinction for 2026.
Fairfield Career Center earned the Platinum School of Distinction award, while Eastland Career Center received the Gold School of Distinction award. The recognition places both campuses among 182 schools nationwide recognized by the Jostens Renaissance program this year.
The Jostens Renaissance School of Distinction program celebrates schools that are creating positive school climates and cultures through the implementation of the Renaissance Results Formula, which focuses on building strong relationships, recognizing achievements, and fostering a sense of belonging among students and staff.
At Fairfield Career Center, Renaissance efforts are led by advisors Lauren Taylor and Becky McNeese, with support from administrator Heather Miller. At Eastland Career Center, advisors Chelsea Osgood and Katie Anderson work alongside administrators Vicki Huey and Holly Griffin to support the program.
The awards also represent significant progress from the previous year. During the 2024-2025 school year, both Eastland and Fairfield Career Centers earned Silver School of Distinction recognition. This year, Eastland advanced to Gold status while Fairfield achieved the program's highest level, Platinum.
Schools receiving this recognition will be celebrated at the Jostens Renaissance Global Conference, which will take place June 14-16 in Orlando, Florida.
This recognition reflects the dedication of the students, staff, and administrators who help make Eastland and Fairfield Career Centers great places to learn and grow.
