Today we received the exciting news that Florida Atlantic’s A.D. Henderson University School (ADHUS) and FAU High School has been named a 2024 National Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education. This high honor recognizes primary and secondary schools that excel in academic performance or make significant strides in closing achievement gaps among different student groups.

ADHUS and FAU High is one of 356 schools in the nation to be named a National Blue Ribbon School. This is the second time in 10 years, and third time in school history, that ADHUS and FAU High has been recognized with this national honor. The hallmarks of a National Blue Ribbon School include high standards of teaching excellence, robust professional development, data-driven instructional methods and community collaboration — all geared to foster student success.
