quality and excellence

The two words used by the administration of any given American public school to describe its success. Often overused to the point where the words "Quality" and "Excellence" lose any and all meaning. Even if the school has had actual success in the past, the staff will always fall back on "Quality and Excellence" to describe the school as a whole, failing to use any other adjective. This is often seen in underfunded public schools in the Midwest, such as Williamston High School.
