COCKEYSVILLE, MARYLAND – ST. JOSEPH SCHOOL COCKEYSVILLE has advanced to the next level of the National Blue Ribbon application process. This accomplishment is a testament to the exceptional quality of education provided by ST. JOSEPH SCHOOL COCKEYSVILLE. Up to 50 private schools across the Nation can be nominated for the National Blue Ribbon award each year.

“IT IS AN HONOR TO BE SELECTED BY THE COUNCIL OF AMERICAN PRIVATE EDUCATION AS ONE OF THE FIFTY SCHOOLS NATIONWIDE TO HAVE OUR APPLICATION SUBMITTED TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. I AM EXTREMELY PROUD OF ALL THE STUDENTS FOR THEIR HARD WORK EVERY DAY AND OF THE FACULTY FOR THEIR DEDICATION AND HARD WORK.” – Mrs. Maggie Bellamy, Principal

The National Blue Ribbon Award is the highest honor bestowed upon schools by the United States Department of Education. Established in 1982 by Secretary of Education Terrell H. Bell, it recognizes public and private elementary, middle, and high schools that fall in either or both of the two performance award categories: Exemplary High Performing or Exemplary Achievement Gap Closing. ST. JOSEPH SCHOOL COCKEYSVILLE qualified as exemplary high performing based on its outstanding academic performance on national and state assessments. The next step in the application process will involve a review of the selected National Blue Ribbon applications by the United States Department of Education. The recipients of the 2024 National Blue Ribbon award will be announced in September 2024.
