Corpus Christi Parish School and Nativity of Our Lord Parish School Selected Blue Ribbon Schools
Corpus Christi Parish School (Lansdale, Montgomery County) and Nativity of Our Lord Parish School (Warminster, Bucks County) have been selected by the United States Department of Education as National Blue Ribbon Schools. These two schools have been recognized as only two of 49 private and 255 public schools throughout the country. This brings the total of Archdiocesan elementary schools which have received this distinction to 15. Officials from both schools will attend a conference in Washington, D.C. in November where they will receive this prestigious award.
The Blue Ribbon Program, an effort on the part of the United States Department of Education to identify the best school leadership and best teaching practices, sets a standard of excellence for all schools striving for the highest level of achievement. Each year since 1982, the United States Department of Education has sought out schools where students attain and maintain high academic goals. A list of the 2011 National Blue Ribbon Schools is available at www2.ed.gov/programs/nclbbrs/
