Page High Wins Blue Ribbon Award

Published September 15, 2011

Students at Page High School have reason to celebrate. On September 15, the U.S. Department of Education announced that Page High School is a recipient of this year's 2011 National Blue Ribbon Schools Award.

The Blue Ribbon Schools Program recognizes public and private elementary, middle, and high schools that are either high-performing or have improved student achievement to high levels.

"It is an honor to be recognized as a high performing school at a national level," said Page High Principal Dr. Andrea Anthony.

"The top three keys to our success at Page High include exemplary programming that maximizes each student's development, effective teachers who are experts in their areas and build relationships with their students, and excellent partnerships with parents and community members who support and promote our school's goals."

Page High School students and staff joined district and county leaders September 15 to celebrate the announcement. Page High is one of only three Williamson County schools to receive this honor. Brentwood Middle was named a National Blue Ribbon School in 2006 and Grassland Middle received the award in 2004.

The Department of Education will honor this year's winners at a conference and awards ceremony November 14-15 in Washington D.C.
