Eight schools receive National Blue Ribbon awards
The 2020 National Blue Ribbon award comes as a validation of the efforts of the eight Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Chicago that were honored this year, school leaders said. The awards honor high-achieving schools and those that close achievement gaps; of the 367 schools honored across the Unites States this year, 50 are non-public schools.
