Blue Ribbon and Accreditation

Blue Ribbon

 

In 2005, St. Patrick Catholic School was selected as one of 266 schools from across the nation to be selected as a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence. Awarded by the U.S. Department of Education, The National Blue Ribbon Schools Program recognizes public and private elementary, middle, and high schools based on their overall academic excellence or their progress in closing achievement gaps among student subgroups. The coveted National Blue Ribbon School award affirms the hard work of students, educators, families, and communities in creating safe and welcoming schools where students master challenging and engaging content.
