The
Texas Education Agency announced today the nomination of 25 Texas public
schools for national 2014 Blue Ribbon Schools recognition. Founded in 1982, Blue Ribbon Schools is a
U.S. Department of Education program that recognizes public and private
elementary, middle, and high schools where students perform at very high
levels.
The nominated schools in Texas include
Eagle Pass’ very own Liberty Elementary.
All
schools that have been nominated for the 2014 honor were selected as exemplary
high performing schools as measured by state assessments or nationally normed
tests. Each school has an economically disadvantaged population of 40 percent
or greater.
The
nominated schools must now complete a rigorous application process through the
U.S. Department of Education. Announcements
of the national award winners will be made in September 2014. Schools that receive the award are recognized
at the Blue Ribbon School conference in Washington, D.C.
Congratulations on the excellent service Liberty Elementary is providing to their students.
