MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) - Schools in Manchester, Ashland and Bow are being recognized by the state of New Hampshire for excellence in education.
The Excellence in Education awards, or “EDies,” were created more than 20 years ago to recognize public schools that meet high standards. This year’s elementary school winner is the Parker Varney School in Manchester. Ashland Elementary School won the K-8 award, and Bow High school took top honors in the high school division.
Department of Education officials and others surprised students and faculty with the awards at assemblies on Monday. The schools also will be honored at a gala event on June 6.
