Congratulations to Dennison Elementary for being recognized as a 2023 National Blue Ribbon School!
Dennison is one of 353 schools across the country to earn this prestigious award this year, and one of only four Colorado schools to be named a Blue Ribbon School in 2023.
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.
"The honorees for our 2023 National Blue Ribbon Schools Award have set a national example
for what it means to Raise the Bar in education,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel
Cardona.
"The leaders, educators, and staff at our National Blue Ribbon Schools continually
inspire me with their dedication to fostering academic excellence and building positive school
cultures that support students of all backgrounds to thrive academically, socially, and
emotionally. As the Biden-Harris Administration partners with states and schools to accelerate
academic success and transform educational opportunity in this country, we take tremendous
pride in the achievements of these schools and their commitment to empowering educators,
serving students, and engaging families."
Dennison Elementary principal, Aimee Crispin, will travel to Washington, D.C., in November to accept this award from the U.S. Department of Education.
