Area Schools Receive Blue Ribbon Designation

The U.S. Department of Education on Monday recognized 356 schools as the 2024 cohort of the National Blue Ribbon Schools, including 31 schools in Texas. This prestigious recognition highlights schools that excel in academic performance or make significant strides in closing achievement gaps among different student groups.

The Texas schools in our area named as National Blue Ribbon Schools were:

Bob L. Kirksey Elementary School, Booker ISD
