The National Blue Ribbon Schools Program, a part of the United States Department of Education, announces hundreds of recipients of the award each year.
The award was created to recognize schools that are considered outstanding, and the winners are honored at an awards ceremony in Washington, DC, where schools receive plaques and flags.
The four Long Island schools that received the award this year are listed below, along with links to the Blue Ribbon overview of each:
- Ward Melville Senior High School in East Setauket
- Lynbrook Senior High School
- Lloyd Harbor School
- Valley Stream Central High School
