For a second time Liberty Elementary School receives National Blue Ribbon Recognition

Congratulations to Liberty Elementary! U.S. Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan has recognized Eagle Pass Independent School District’s Liberty Elementary as an Exemplary High Performing School and National Blue Ribbon School for 2014. This is the second time since 2008 that Liberty Elementary receives the distinguished Blue Ribbon Recognition.

The Texas Education Agency announced the nominations of 25 Texas public schools back in February after the school completed a rigorous application process through the U.S. Department of Education.

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. In fact, all schools that have were nominated for the 2014 honor, were selected as exemplary high performing schools as measured by state assessments.

The National Blue Ribbon School award affirms the hard work of students, educators, families and our community in creating safe and welcoming schools where students master challenging content.

Secretary Duncan has invited two representatives of Liberty Elementary School to Washington, DC where they will be presented with a National Blue Ribbon plaque and flag as symbols of their recognized status.

Congratulations Liberty Elementary and their continued commitment to excellence!
