Twenty-Two Catholic Schools Recognized As National Blue Ribbon Schools for 2022
Catholic schools are 22 of the 24 private schools awarded the 2022 honor.
Leesburg, VA – The National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) joyfully proclaims that 22 Catholic schools will receive the 2022 National Blue Ribbon at a two-day event in Washington, D.C., November 3 – 4. This year, Catholic schools are 22 of the 24 private schools recognized as National Blue Ribbon Schools.
“Catholic schools teach the whole person – body, mind and spirit. Academic excellence goes hand-in-hand with the gospel spirit evident in Catholic schools,” said NCEA President/CEO Lincoln Snyder. “The honor of being named a National Blue Ribbon school affirms what our Catholic school leaders and educators experience every day – Catholic schools are extraordinary places.”
U.S. Secretary of Education, Miguel A. Cardona announced on September 16 297 schools as National Blue Ribbon Schools for 2022 based on overall academic excellence or progress in closing achievement gaps among student subgroups. These schools demonstrate what is possible to make an enduring, positive difference in students’ lives.
The 273 public and 24 private schools represent public and non-public elementary, middle, and high schools, including traditional, charter, magnet schools, parochial and independent schools in 45 states, the District of Colombia and Department of Defense Education Activity schools in Italy, Spain and Japan.
National Blue Ribbon Schools are an inspiration and a model for all schools striving for excellence. With its 39th cohort of awardees, the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program has bestowed more than 10,000 awards to over 9,000 schools, with some schools winning multiple awards.
