HENRICO, V.A. — U.S. Representative Abigail Spanberger today celebrated a school in Virginia’s Seventh District being recognized as a National Blue Ribbon School for 2022 by the U.S. Department of Education. The National Blue Ribbon Schools Program annually honors public and private elementary, middle, and high schools for their overall academic excellence or their progress in closing achievement gaps among student groups.

Nuckols Farm Elementary School in Henrico County was awarded the National Blue Ribbon award for academic excellence — considered the highest honor a school can receive. This award is a sought after achievement with strong national competition. Nuckols Farm Elementary School is one of 297 schools across the nation — and seven schools in Virginia — that achieved this year’s award for the academic success of their students.

“I applaud the hard work of the students, faculty, and staff at Nuckols Farm Elementary School for their continued commitment to academic excellence and fostering a safe and effective learning environment,” said Spanberger. “This award is rightfully deserved for years of dedication, care, and determination by students and faculty. Nuckols Farm Elementary School is a shining example not only for our community, but for the Commonwealth and entire country. Congratulations to the students and faculty of Nuckols Farm Elementary School for their fantastic achievement.”
