Congratulations to Campbell Union School District’s Forest Hill Elementary School for being recognized as a National Blue Ribbon School for 2019. The award from the U.S. Department of Education is based on a school’s overall academic performance or progress in closing achievement gaps among student subgroups.
"I’m proud of the work being done at all of our schools, and it is a wonderful honor to have Forest Hill recognized as a National Blue Ribbon school,” said Shelly Viramontez, Superintendent of the preschool-through-grade-eight school district.
“We recognize and honor your important work in preparing students for successful careers and meaningful lives” said U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos in a video message to the honorees. Representatives from Forest Hill will join the District Superintendent and the Secretary of Education at a November awards ceremony in Washington, D.C.
