The schools principal, faculty, and students are a credit to our borough and our City. The U.S. Department of Education has honored outstanding schools with the National Blue Ribbon Award for 32 years. Award recipients distinguish themselves with a well-rounded teaching and training regime, propelling students and faculty to academic and professional excellence. Winners earn the National Blue Ribbon award by achieving high graduation rates and top-performing scores on state assessments.
