I guess the good Mrs. Burroughs is now the Director of Admissions.

Hyde is great, Hyde is good.
The girls at Hyde harden my wood.
Anonymous:
I get harder then a Chinese Elm
when I dream of the sweet Mama at the helm.
But some times I dream of those sweet Hyde boys.
Bending them over was such a joy.
There are many choices when you choose to ride,
bareback or safe: you can get them all at Hyde.

Here's something that may or may not mean anything: different accreditation sources attributed to Bath vs. Woodstock?
First, I checked for Bath, ostensibly accredited by AISNE. I checked on AISNE's website, no mention of Hyde School, neither campus. That, in and of itself, does not necessarily mean anything since, at least for AISNE, Membership is open to any elementary or secondary school which is not-for-profit, nondiscriminatory, governed by a board of directors, and fiscally sound. Potential new members must have been, or be willing to be, accredited through AISNE (elementary schools only) or the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (all schools).
http://www.aisne.org/member_services/ab ... t=overview[/list]In other words: Hyde, being a secondary school, really needs to be accredited by NEASC in order to qualify for accreditation by AISNE.
Incidentally, AISNE is not exactly a very transparent organization. It would appear that they do not want to be contacted by the public. There are very few contact links on their website (and the few that there are, are first names only), and certainly no section designated as such. The BOD is hidden in a members only section, which requires a password to enter.
On to NEASC, which is a whole different ballgame. This is a far more professional organization, with everyone's name, background, and contact details fully disclosed, usually multiple times throughout the website. Since NEASC covers not only elementary and secondary schools, but also specialty, international, and vocational schools in addition to colleges and universities, there are consequently a number of subsections. Hyde falls under the section termed CIS:
* Accredits 255 degree-granting colleges, universities and other post-secondary institutions in New England through the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education (CIHE) and the Commission on Technical and Career Institutions (CTCI)
[li]Accredits more than 628 private, independent schools through the Commission on Independent Schools (CIS)
* Accredits 652 public secondary schools through the Commission on Public Secondary Schools (CPSS)
* Accredits approximately 157 public elementary and middle schools through the Commission on Public Elementary and Middle Schools (CPEMS)
* Accredits 88 vocational-technical schools through the Commission on Technical and Career Institutions (CTCI)
* Accredits 153 American/International schools in 65 nations through the Commission on American and International Schools Abroad (CAISA)
* Serves as a clearinghouse for the public and its policy makershttp://www.neasc.org/neasc/aboutneasc.htm[/li][/list]
According to NEASC, Hyde-Bath was first accredited in 1970, and was last reviewed in 2000.

Hyde-Woodstock was first accredited in 2002, and has not be reviewed yet.
