Owlett Congratulates Area Blue Ribbon School

November 9, 2026

HARRISBURG – Rep. Clint Owlett (R-Tioga/Bradford) today congratulated North Penn-Liberty Junior/Senior High School in the Southern Tioga School District upon being designated a Pennsylvania Blue Ribbon School.

“Nothing is more important than building a brighter future for our kids, and I commend the teachers, administrators, parents and students at North Penn-Liberty for their hard work and dedication toward that goal,” Owlett said. “Your commitment to learning and growing is making a difference for our students and the community as a whole.”

North Penn-Liberty is one of only 12 schools honored with the blue-ribbon designation across the state. Schools selected for the honor demonstrate exceptional academic growth, ranking among the top 15% statewide for whole school improvement while showing progress for all student groups.

According to the state Department of Education, qualifying schools create inclusive learning environments, support student well-being through strong Student Assistance Programs, maintain high attendance and assessment participation rates, and meet rigorous standards for special education and accountability. In addition, they are safe, well-managed schools that are not identified for improvement or corrective action.

“We are blessed with some outstanding schools in our area, and I’m so pleased to see North Penn-Liberty recognized for its exceptional efforts,” Owlett added.

This is not the first time a school in the Southern Tioga School District earned blue-ribbon designation. In 2000, Liberty Elementary School was recognized under the federal Blue Ribbon School program.
