Blue Ribbon Schools Program Archived Information BLUE RIBBON SCHOOLS PROGRAM Schools Recognized 1982-1983 Through 1999-2002 For further information, contact: Blue Ribbon Schools Program Knowledge Applications Division Office of Reform Assistance and Dissemination Office of Educational Research and Improvement U.S. Department of Education 555 New Jersey Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20208-5643 (202) 219-2149 BLUE RIBBON SCHOOLS PROGRAM Purpose: Since the Blue Ribbon Schools Program was established by the Secretary of Education in 1982, it has developed into a national school improvement strategy with three purposes. First, it identifies and recognizes outstanding public and private schools across the nation. Second, the program makes research-based effectiveness criteria available to all schools so they can assess themselves and plan improvements. Third, the program encourages schools, both within and among themselves, to share information about best practices based on a common understanding of criteria related to educational success. Blue Ribbon Schools are models of both excellence and equity. To be recognized, a school must demonstrate a strong commitment to educational excellence for all students. The program welcomes applications from schools that have demonstrated sustained success in achieving these values, as well as schools that have overcome obstacles and can provide evidence of significant improvements. Which Schools May Be Nominated? Public and private schools serving grades K-12 from the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, as well as Bureau of Indian Affairs, and Department of Defense Dependents Schools, may be nominated. Elementary and secondary schools are eligible to participate in alternate years. Middle schools participate in program with secondary schools. The minimum period of operation for public and private schools, including newly merged schools, is five years; that is, the school must be in its sixth full year of operation when the application is submitted. Previously recognized schools are eligible to reapply after a five year waiting period. How Are Schools Chosen? Each state education agency administers its own program for selecting public schools to be nominated to the national level. Chief State School Officers make their nominations to the U.S. Department of Education. The Council for American Private Education nominates private schools, and officials of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Department of Defense Dependents Schools nominate their schools. Each of these nominating agencies has an assigned Blue Ribbon liaison who provides guidance to schools applying to the program. The Department convenes the National Review Panel to evaluate the nominations. The panel consists of approximately 100 outstanding public and private school educators from the elementary, secondary, and postsecondary levels. Based on the quality of the application, the most promising schools are recommended for site visits. The purpose of a visit is to verify the accuracy of the information the school has provided in its nomination form and to gather any additional information the panel has requested. Experienced educators, including principals of previously recognized schools, visit and observe the schools for two days and submit written site visit reports. The National Review Panel considers the reports in its final review of applicants and makes recommendations to the U.S. Secretary of Education, who then announces the names of the schools selected for recognition. What Selection Criteria Are Used? The National Review Panel considers the following general categories in analyzing the application of each school: Student Focus and Support School Organization and Culture Challenging Standards and Curriculum Active Teaching and Learning Professional Community Leadership and Educational Vitality School, Family, and Community Partnerships Indicators of Success Details of these eight categories of selection criteria are provided in the nomination package available through the nominating agencies or on the U.S. Department of Education website. Each year, special emphases are designated. These represent areas where school performance needs to be greatly improved and where effective models are sought. Schools may choose to seek honors in one special emphasis area in addition to comprehensive recognition. What Are the Benefits? The Blue Ribbon Schools Program has proven to be effective in numerous ways: The nomination package provides a comprehensive framework of research-based criteria that schools can use to assess themselves and plan changes. The self-assessment is an opportunity to involve all relevant stakeholders in a common school improvement project. Recognition is a powerful energizer for recognized schools to make further improvements. By publicly validating school improvement efforts, confidence in recognized schools increases. Their receiving the award often results in higher local funding for schools, greater parent and community involvement in education, and success in the search for outside funds and other resources. The public spotlight shines on recognized schools; often they are the subjects of articles in national, state, and local publications. They are designated as the universe from which schools, teachers, or students are selected for special awards from business and industry. Recognized schools have opportunities to share their effective practices with other schools as well as to learn from other schools. State Recognition Programs: Acknowledging the value of recognition as a school improvement strategy, 18 states and the District of Columbia have developed their own recognition programs. These state programs use criteria similar to the national Blue Ribbon Schools Program. Schools in these states generally achieve state recognition prior to national recognition. School City Year(s) Recognized States with their own recognition programs include: Arizona: A+ School Recognition Program Arkansas: Arkansas Blue Ribbon Schools Program California: Distinguished Schools Program Colorado: Schools of Excellence Program District of Columbia: Schools of Excellence Program Georgia: Schools of Excellence Program Hawaii: Hawaii Blue Ribbon Schools Program Indiana: Indiana Blue Ribbon Schools Program Iowa: FINE Program Kentucky: Kentucky Blue Ribbon Schools Program Maryland: Maryland Blue Ribbon Schools Program Michigan: Michigan Blue Ribbon Schools Program Missouri: Gold Star Schools Program Nevada: Nevada Blue Ribbon Schools Program New Jersey: Best Practices/Star Schools Program South Carolina: South Carolina Blue Ribbon Schools Texas: Successful Schools Awards Program Washington: Washington Blue Ribbon Schools Program West Virginia: Schools of Excellence Program Partnerships: Partnerships with education associations have contributed greatly to the high success of the Blue Ribbon Schools Program. The partners are the National Association of Elementary School Principals, the National Association of Secondary School Principals, and the National Middle School Association.

  • HHS Early Years Newsletter Fall 2012
    Heidelberg High School Newsletter The Early Years, Classes of 1947 to 1965 Fall 2012 View of Heidelberg and the Schloß from above the Philosophenweg, copper engraving by Matthäus Merian, 1620 Memories of HHS and Beyond Cindy Beck Fox ’61 Dear Early Years Staff, My husband, David, and I look forward to the Newsletter, and reunions. Although Dave isn’t an Overseas Brat or DOD Alum, he was in the Air Force for 21 years and we were stationed at Hahn AFB, Germany (where I taught Kindergarten for two years); Itazuki & Hakata, Kyushu, Japan (where I substitute taught with my former 6th grade/Camp Drake, Tokyo, science teacher, Worth Gurley), and Tachikawa AFB, where I taught in the Middle School. So Dave definitely has a sense of my past experiences, added to the new ones we shared. I taught in the countries where I had attended school in my “army brat” years. And we did attend the Heidelberg, Germany reunion in 2006. We both love the stories you include in the Newsletter. Our favorite was Tony Donovan’s “A Quick Side Trip Down Memory Lane”. Who doesn’t remember Miss Fowlkes’s purple hair and her Shakespeare drama. Ms Kay was my homeroom and English teacher, and, if I recall correctly, the class of 1961 advisor. The fearsome Algebra and Geometry teacher that Tony spoke of was likely Ms Clauson. She was probably my favorite, because I loved math...and ultimately became a high school math teacher. Every time my mascara was too thick or I wore a pretty scarf, I thought of her.
