These 11 Indiana Schools Have Been Named 2023 National Blue Ribbon Schools
The U.S. Department of Education recently announced the schools that have been recognized as National Blue Ribbon Schools for 2023. Out of the 353 schools to receive this honor, 11 of them are here in Indiana. This recognition is based on a school’s overall academic performance or progress in closing achievement gaps among student subgroups on assessments.
U.S. Secretary of Education, Miguel Cardona, has this to say about this amazing accomplishment...
The honorees for our 2023 National Blue Ribbon Schools Award have set a national example for what it means to Raise the Bar in education. The leaders, educators, and staff at our National Blue Ribbon Schools continually inspire me with their dedication to fostering academic excellence and building positive school cultures that support students of all backgrounds to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Television Shows Set in Indiana
From comedies to dramas to reality television, to arguably one of the most popular science-fiction series ever created, Indiana has had its fair share of Hollywood productions use a location in the state to serve as a "home base," if you will, for its story. Some of these you've likely never heard of, and some you may be a massive fan of.
