A Norwin elementary school has received high honors for exceptional student achievement.
The Tribune-Review reports that Sheridan Terrace Elementary School in North Huntingdon was named a National ESEA Distinguished School. The award showcases schools in categories of exceptional student performance for two consecutive years, closing the achievement gap between student groups and excellence in serving special populations or students.
The school opened in 2003 and serves students from Irwin, North Irwin, and North Huntingdon, along with Sheridan Terrace, Shafton, Westmoreland City and other area communities.
