BLUE RIBBON LIGHTHOUSE SCHOOL AWARD

The Blue Ribbon Lighthouse School Award is a recognition program for schools designed by Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence, Inc. Schools are identified and selected for this award based on achievement of excellent performance in all nine major categories of the Blueprint for Excellence.

Blue Ribbon Lighthouse Schools serve as a beacon for exemplary achievements and contributions to ensure successful educational experiences for all children by shining a positive light on America's best schools and programs that work. Working together, education, business and government leaders have the ability to create an infrastructure that will provide a blueprint for excellence in education for all children, all schools and all states. Blue Ribbon Lighthouse Schools focus on locating successful best practices and programs that work in education to serve as a marker for schools that desire to be high performing beacons for our educational culture.
