The U.S. Secretary of Education announced this week two Queens schools will be honored with the National Blue Ribbon.
The Queens College School For Math, Science & Technology in Flushing and PS 205 in Bayside were both given the award, which recognizes schools nationwide on their overall academic excellence.
“These great schools are fulfilling the promise of American education—that all students, no matter their name or zip code, can flourish when schools provide safe, creative, and challenging learning environments,” said Secretary Arne Duncan.
The schools will be honored with 335 other public and private intuitions at a November ceremony in Washington.
