Blue Ribbon School
Everett Public Schools’ Whittier Elementary has earned one of the nation’s highest honors in education - recognition as a National Blue Ribbon School. While the U.S. Department of Education discontinued the program in August 2025, Whittier had already been nominated, completed the application process, and received final confirmation of its award before the program was cut. The Blue Ribbon Schools Program honored fewer than 1% of public schools across the country each year for overall academic excellence or progress in closing achievement gaps. In Washington, the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) nominates up to seven schools annually based on assessment data and overall performance. Whittier’s nomination placed it among the topperforming schools in the state and makes it the first Everett Public Schools building to earn this distinction.
