Dear Superintendent Bautz:
It is my pleasure to inform you that Taylor-Richardton Elementary School in Richardton-Taylor Public School District has been recognized as an Exemplary High Performing Schools National Blue Ribbon School for 2023 by U. S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona.
The National Blue Ribbon Schools Program award recognizes public and private elementary, middle, and high schools where students achieve at high levels or are making notable improvements in closing the achievement gap among student groups. Since 1982, the U. S. Department of Education has sought out and celebrated great American schools. The National Blue Ribbon School award affirms the hard work of students, educators, families, and communities in creating safe and welcoming schools where students master challenging content.
Congratulations and thank you for your commitment to providing an exemplary education for students in your district.
Respectfully,
Aba S. Kumi
Director
National Blue Ribbon Schools Program
