Congressman Tom Price (R-GA) issued the following statement commending two schools in Georgia’s Sixth Congressional District, Etowah High School in Cherokee County and Webb Bridge Middle School in Fulton County, for being recognized as Blue Ribbon Schools by the U.S. Department of Education.

“What a very proud day for everyone at Etowah High School and Webb Bridge Middle School,” said Congressman Price. “The Blue Ribbon Award is not bestowed lightly, with just 304 recipients nationwide this year. This exceptional honor testifies to the hard work, dedication, and involvement of our students, teachers, parents, and administrators. A good education is the key to getting the next generation ready to face the world, and our Blue Ribbon winners have provided fine examples to follow. In a global economy that gets more competitive every year, Georgia’s future continues to look bright. ”
