Each year, the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program visits selected schools to capture their stories. Produced as audio slideshows since 2009, these school profiles feature the voices and images of principals, teachers, students, parents, and community members as they offer first-person perspectives on what they have created together.
While every National Blue Ribbon School has many stories to tell, these profiles highlight a specific theme, practice, concept, or belief that is a key factor in the school’s success.
In addition to transcripts, the audio slide shows are accompanied by brief school profiles, school contact information, and links to the school’s website and National Blue Ribbon Schools application. To see the slide shows please select one of these links:
- 2011 National Blue Ribbon Profiled Schools
- 2010 National Blue Ribbon Profiled Schools
- 2009 National Blue Ribbon Profiled Schools
Written profiles of schools visited before 2009 appear on the USDE website.
We urge you to contact these and other National Blue Ribbon Schools as your school continues its journey to excellence.
