While the U.S. Department of Education this year honored Bishop McNamara High School in Forestville, Maryland with a National Blue Ribbon Schools Award signaling it as one of the best in the nation, students, parents and staff there say they’ve always known the school to be a top-notch center of learning.

“I have always loved McNamara, and I’ve always been proud of my school,” said senior Ahmena Jones. “But it feels real nice to be recognized.”

The U.S. Department of Education’s National Blue Ribbon Schools Program honors public and private schools for their academic excellence and where students are performing at very high levels.

Bishop McNamara High School was singled out by the U.S. Department of Education as one of the nation’s “Exemplary High Performing Schools,” and was recognized as “among the top performers” in the state of Maryland.

“This is really exciting,” said Dian Carter, principal of Bishop McNamara High School. “We have worked so hard to maintain a level of excellence, which is a result of the collaboration between faculty, staff and students.”

Carter is in her sixth year as principal of Bishop McNamara. Prior to that, she was an assistant principal there for two years. Over a more than three-decade career in education, Carter also spent nine years as the principal at St. Ambrose Catholic School in Cheverly, Maryland.
