Keysor Named Blue Ribbon School

The national recognition was announced Tuesday for Keysor Elementary in the Kirkwood School District.

Kirkwood's Keysor Elementary is one of three schools in St. Louis County recognized as a National Blue Ribbon School for 2013.

Keysor students and staff met to hear the announcement live from the U.S. Department of Education's USTREAM channel Tuesday morning.

The Blue Ribbon award is bestowed upon schools nation-wide with high achievement levels or significant improvements, according to a release from the Kirkwood School District. Education officials from each state nominate schools for the recognition.

Brentwood High School and Sappington Elementary School were also chosen as Blue Ribbon schools in the area this year.
