2019 National Blue Ribbon Schools
U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos today recognized 362 schools, including Worcester County's Ocean City Elementary, as National Blue Ribbon Schools for
2019. The recognition is based on a school’s overall academic
performance or progress in closing achievement gaps among student
subgroups.
“We
recognize and honor your important work in preparing students for
successful careers and meaningful lives” said U.S. Secretary of
Education Betsy DeVos in a video message to the honorees. “As a National
Blue Ribbon School, your school demonstrates what is possible when
committed educators hold all students and staff to high standards and
create vibrant, innovative cultures of teaching and learning.”
The coveted National
Blue Ribbon Schools award affirms the hard work of educators, families
and communities in creating safe and welcoming schools where students
master challenging and engaging content.
