GROVE CITY – Today, Rep. Tim Bonner (R-Mercer/Butler) released the following statement congratulating Oakview Elementary School for its achievement of receiving a 2024 National Blue Ribbon designation issued by the United States Department of Education.
“It was my honor to present a Pennsylvania House citation to the Lakeview School District Board of Directors and Superintendent Dr. Keith Wolfe at their school board meeting recognizing Oakview Elementary School as the recipient of the National Blue Ribbon award for academic excellence and social skill development.
“Oakview Elementary is one of 13 schools across Pennsylvania to be recognized as a 2024 National Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education. This prestigious award would not have been possible without the dedication of the students, teachers, administrators and parents of Oakview Elementary School. Lakeview School District has a longstanding reputation of producing excellence in the classroom and this national recognition demonstrates this once again.
“The 17th House District is home to many excellent schools, and I congratulate Oakview Elementary, as well as Mercer Area High School of the Mercer Area School District, which also has been recognized as a 2024 National Blue Ribbon School. It is truly a tribute to the public school system in Mercer County to have two of the thirteen schools recognized for such an award in Pennsylvania to be in our county. The only other counties in Pennsylvania to be similarly recognized are Philadelphia and Allegheny counties.
The National Blue Ribbon Schools Program recognizes public and private elementary, middle, and high schools based on their overall academic excellence or progress in closing achievement gaps among student groups.
“Again, congratulations to the Sailors and Mustangs.”
