NPPS McDonald Elementary Honored with Blue Ribbon Distinction

North Platte Public Schools is proud to announce McDonald Elementary as a Blue Ribbon Distinction School for 2025-2026. This recognized distinction from the U.S. Department of Education highlights the school’s outstanding academic achievement and commitment to student success.

The Blue Ribbon honor celebrates schools that demonstrate consistent excellence, and make progress in closing gaps in student achievement. In order to be eligible, a school must be nominated by state liaisons, and have letters of support submitted on its behalf. McDonald Elementary was nominated for recognition as an exemplary high performing school.

An assembly was held at McDonald Elementary on October 10th to surprise students and staff and celebrate their achievement. McDonald Elementary Principal, Kim Flanders, is excited for her team, as this recognition was made possible through the efforts of staff, students, and community throughout the years.

Congratulations to the McDonald Mustangs for earning this prestigious recognition.
