Blue Ribbon Schools: Roswell Private School Makes The List

ROSWELL, GA — A private school in Roswell earned the honor of being named a National Blue Ribbon school for 2019, the Department of Education announced Sept. 26.

According to the Department of Education, being named a Blue Ribbon school “affirms the hard work of educators, families and communities in creating safe and welcoming schools where students master challenging and engaging content.”

A total of 362 schools earned the title.

Each school that earns the award is either among the highest performing schools in a state or among the highest performing in closing the achievement gap.

In Roswell, the Blue Ribbon school is Queen Of Angels Catholic School, 11340 Woodstock Road.

“We recognize and honor your important work in preparing students for successful careers and meaningful lives,” U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos in a video message to the honorees. “As a National Blue Ribbon School, your school demonstrates what is possible when committed educators hold all students and staff to high standards and create vibrant, innovative cultures of teaching and learning.”

A ceremony honoring the schools will be held in Washington D.C. in November.
