New York State Blue Ribbon Award Winners
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan today announced 314 schools as 2009 National Blue Ribbon Schools. The schools - 264 public and 50 private - will be honored at an awards ceremony on November 3 in Washington, DC. For the past 27 years, more than 6,150 of America’s schools have received this coveted award. The award honors public and private elementary, middle and high schools that are either academically superior, or have made dramatic gains in student achievement and helped close gaps in achievement among minority and disadvantaged students. The New York State Education Department nominated 19 schools, all of which will receive the Blue Ribbon Award.
