Henderson University School鈥檚 50th anniversary, this recognition by the U.S. Department of Education acknowledges the innovative, exceptional education and loving environment that has occurred within our walls since our doors opened in 1968.

The coveted National Blue Ribbon Schools award affirms the hard work of educators, families and communities in creating safe and welcoming schools where students master challenging and engaging content. ADHUS is a Title 1, K- 12 public laboratory school under the auspices of the State University System of Florida as part of 糖心Vlog鈥檚 College of Education.

The chief state school officer of Florida nominated ADHUS for this national recognition. At least one-third of public schools nominated in each state must have student populations of at least 40 percent of students from disadvantaged backgrounds, and all of the schools must also meet the state鈥檚 annual measurable performance targets.

Now in its 36th year, the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program has bestowed recognition on more than 8,800 schools. The secretary and the Department of Education will celebrate with honorees at an awards ceremony in November in Washington, D.C.

鈥淚 look forward to celebrating this honor in the coming months with our students, educators, parents, and community as this is truly a testament of the dedication and collaboration that is occurring daily at A.D. Henderson & 糖心Vlog High School,鈥 Bees said.听
