Maysville Elementary Earns Blue Ribbon Lighthouse Distinction
Maysville Elementary School has been recognized as a Blue Ribbon Lighthouse School.
A Blue Ribbon Lighthouse certification is the highest honor bestowed upon a school by the Blue Ribbon organization. The distinction follows a thorough assessment that provides insight into a school's strengths. Schools are assessed on a multitude of categories that include: school culture and climate; challenging curriculum; active teaching and learning; technology integration; professional community; leadership and education vitality; school, family and community partnerships; and indicators of success.
“I am honored that Maysville Elementary School has earned the distinction of a Blue Ribbon Lighthouse School,” Maysville principal Dr. Katie Warwick said. “This is an incredible distinction that our community can be proud of and is a direct reflection of the dedicated hard work of our school staff that commits to the pursuit of excellence each day.”
The Blue Ribbon Lighthouse certification lasts five years for Maysville Elementary School, during which time it will have the opportunity to collaborate on exemplary practices with other schools on a local, regional, and national level, as well as providing mentoring and networking to schools seeking guidance and assistance in school improvement initiatives.
Maysville Elementary joins East Jackson Elementary School as a Blue Ribbon Lighthouse School. EJES earned the honor of a Blue Ribbon Lighthouse school in October. East Jackson Comprehensive High School earned the distinction of a Blue Ribbon Beacon School in February.
