Manchin Congratulates The 2024 West Virginia National Blue Ribbon Schools

Washington, DC - Today, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (I-WV) congratulated Gilmore Elementary School in Sandyville, Kellogg Elementary School in Huntington, and Pleasant Valley Elementary School in Fairmont for being recognized as 2024 National Blue Ribbon Schools. Since its creation in 1982, the U.S. Department of Education's National Blue Ribbon Schools Program has recognized the hard work of students, educators, families, and communities in creating safe and welcoming schools where students master challenging content and attain high academic achievement.

"Earning a National Blue Ribbon School recognition is an outstanding achievement for any school in our country-and West Virginia is home to three such high-performing schools," said Senator Manchin. "Young people are our future, and I'm incredibly proud of the students, faculty, and families who helped their schools earn this prestigious award for 2024. Gilmore, Kellogg, and Pleasant Valley Elementary Schools represent the best of the Mountain State. Gayle and I join all West Virginians in congratulating them on this well-deserved academic distinction and community accomplishment."
