St. Mary Chardon enjoyed a visit from Bryan Pflaum from the Cleveland Clinic on the last week of school announcing that the school has again won the distinction of banner school for the 2017-18 school year.

By meeting stringent implementation and participation criteria, Banner Schools maximize student enrichment, promote continuous programmatic improvement and earn a distinction shared by fewer than 30 percent of the 179 schools in four states that participated in 2017-18 civic education programming. The award recognizes schools that have gone “above and beyond” in leveraging civic education programming to advance student learning.

The Cleveland Clinic shared, “Civic Education offers programs designed to promote health and wellness, academic achievement, and career preparedness for students in grades K through 12. It takes ambitious teachers and supportive administrators, though, to deliver these opportunities to students; and while we appreciate and applaud all of our education partners, we recognize these select few for being pacesetters.”
