National Blue Ribbon designees are presented with a special blue ribbon flag to fly as a symbol of exemplary teaching and learning.\r\n\r\nManvel Elementary and Sweetwater Elementary in Devils Lake were named as 2014 National Blue Ribbon Schools by the United States Department of Education. The National Blue Ribbon Program was founded in 1982 to recognize the work of the nation\u2019s top schools. Since the program\u2019s founding, the blue ribbon distinction has been awarded to schools achieving impressive results through exemplary teaching practices.\r\n\r\nEarlier this month, the North Dakota schools were formally recognized by the Department of Education at a ceremony held in Washington, D.C.\r\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t  \n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t \n\t\t\n\t\t\tPrint\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tEmail\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tTweet\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t \n\t\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n\t\n    \n    \n    \n    \t\n    \t\n\t    \t  \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \tNext Article\n\t\t    \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \tPrevious Article", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["http://www.hoeven.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/news-releases?ContentRecord_id=99f511c0-ad8b-48a7-aad9-e2bdb2081946"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.0228270441293716, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
