Senator John Hoeven recently visited Red Trail Elementary School in Mandan, North Dakota, to present a flag flown over the U.S. Capitol. This gesture was made in recognition of the school’s designation as a 2024 National Blue Ribbon School. The National Blue Ribbon School flag will be displayed alongside the U.S. flag given by Senator Hoeven.
“Today, we celebrate Red Trail Elementary School’s recognition as a National Blue Ribbon School, a testament to their dedication to academic excellence,” said Hoeven. “This outstanding achievement is the result of the hard work and commitment from the students, families, teachers, and staff at Red Trail Elementary. Congratulations on this well-earned honor.”
The Blue Ribbon School award has been recognizing public and private schools across the United States since 1982 for their overall academic excellence or progress in closing achievement gaps.
