Irondequoit, N.Y. - Iroquois Middle School in West Irondequoit has been recognized as a Blue Ribbon School by U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan.
Two hundred sixty-nine schools were recognized nation-wide, only two schools in Monroe County earned this distinction.
Iroquois School was recognized in the Exemplary High Performing category, “in which schools are recognized among their state’s highest performing schools, as measured by state assessments or nationally-normed tests.”
Principal Chuck Miller says, “I couldn’t be prouder of the outstanding work done by our faculty and staff every day on behalf of students. This is an honor for a great school community. While the award is bestowed on one building, it recognizes the great work done for all children across this district, kindergarten through high school."
