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 nominations are an early step in the process of awarding National Blue Ribbons, which have been given to more 7,000 schools across the nation since its inception in 1982. Last year, 286 schools received the distinction. The U.S. Department of Education will announce this year’s winners in September.
Liberty Elementary has been awarded the Blue Ribbon distinction in 2008 and will once again complete a rigorous application process through the U.S. Department of Education.
Congratulations on the excellent service Liberty Elementary is providing to their students.
