Little Flower School named Maryland Blue Ribbon School; Holy Trinity School also nominated for national honor
Little Flower School in Bethesda, Maryland, has been named a Maryland Blue Ribbon School for 2025–2026, one of seven schools recognized statewide for exceptional academic achievement and commitment to excellence. The honor follows the state’s reinstatement of the Blue Ribbon program after the federal government ended the long-running National Blue Ribbon Schools initiative earlier this year.
Little Flower School, which received the National Blue Ribbon Schools Award in 2017 and 2008, had a school celebration on Oct. 14 for its Maryland Blue Ribbon School honor.
Holy Trinity School in Washington, D.C., was also honored as a nominee for a 2025 National Blue Ribbon School award before the federal program was discontinued in August. Both schools are part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington.
