28 Campuses Named as Inaugural “Lone Star Ribbon Schools”
Goodbye Blue Ribbon Schools!
Hello Lone Star Ribbon Schools!
The discontinuation of the venerable federal Blue Ribbon Schools recognition program by the Trump administration has prompted Texas to create its own Lone Star Ribbon Schools accolade program.
Accordingly, Gov. Abbott today (Monday, Sept. 29, 2025) announced that 28 Texas campuses have been named as first-ever 2025 Lone Star Ribbon Schools in recognition of their outstanding academic performance and progress in closing achievement gaps.
