The Alabama Independent School Association has announced that Marengo Academy has attained the AISA Blue Ribbon School designation for the 2013-2014 school year.

An AISA Blue Ribbon School exemplifies excellence in teaching, student performance, school life, and school and community interaction. A Blue Ribbon School award winner is an excellent school involved in an on-going process of school improvement.

The AISA has been steadfast in its efforts since 1970 to maintain an organization of independently operated non-public schools that are rich in diversity, committed to academic excellence, and deeply concerned about the growth and development of children and youth. The association’s goal is to provide quality educational opportunities for those parents choosing an alternative to public education.

The program is sponsored by the AISA to recognize member schools with outstanding educational programs. Marengo Academy has attained a high level of excellence in the areas of student and teacher performance, plant and facilities, student life and community involvement, and is a very worthy recipient of the award.
