Six Arizona schools have been recognized as Blue Ribbon Schools, according to an announcement from the Arizona Department of Education. The honored schools are Academy of Math and Science in Peoria, Chinle Elementary School in Chinle, Empire High School in Tucson, Maricopa Institute of Technology in Phoenix, Saint John Bosco Catholic School of Phoenix, and Ward Traditional Academy in Tempe.
Arizona Superintendent Tom Horne commented on the achievement: “My primary focus as superintendent is on academic excellence, and these schools can be justifiably proud of this accomplishment because it is based on academic success. Students and educators should always work toward continuous improvement in academic achievement, and Blue Ribbon Schools demonstrate that when schools lead students into challenging themselves, they will excel academically.”
