| CHS recognized as a Blue Ribbon School |

Central High School honored as a 2011 National Blue Ribbon School
The School District of Philadelphia is proud to announce, along with the U.S. Department of Education, Central High School as a 2011 National Blue Ribbon School.
“I’m really glad for the students, teachers and all who work so hard every day to make this happen. I’m very grateful for the parents and the alumni who work so hard to make Central a wonderful place,” says Central High School Principal Dr. Sheldon Pavel. “It’s great to see everyone’s hard work being recognized.”
“I am excited that another Philadelphia public school has reached this level of academic excellence,” says Acting Superintendent Dr. Leroy Nunery. “I’m especially proud of the students and praise the hard work of the principal, staff and especially the parents.”
The National Blue Ribbon School Award honors public and private elementary, middle and high schools where students achieve at high levels or where the achievement gap is narrowing. The program honors public schoolsbased on one of two criteria: 1) Schools whose students are high performing. These are schools ranked among each state’s highest performing schools as measured by their performance on state assessments or, in the case of private schools, that score at the highest performance level on nationally normed tests; or 2) Schools with at least 40 percent of their students from disadvantaged backgrounds that improve student performance to high levels as measured by the school’s performance on state assessments or nationally-normed test.
The U.S. Department of Education named 304 schools as 2011 National Blue Ribbon Schools based on their overall academic excellence or for their success in closing achievement gaps. U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan will honor Central High School with their National Blue Ribbon School awards at a conference and awards ceremony November 14-15 in Washington, D.C.
Since 1982, more than 6,500 of America’s schools have received this coveted award. This is the second time Central High School has been recognized as a National Blue Ribbon School.
Central High School also holds the honor for 2011 of being the only National Blue Ribbon School in Pennsylvania.
