WCS

Brentwood Middle School has been named a 2023 National Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education.

BMS is one of only six schools in Tennessee to receive the honor, and this is the third time that the school has been awarded the title.

"We're really proud of this tradition we have at Brentwood Middle," BMS Principal Dr. Bill Harlin said.

"We just celebrated 50 years, and this is the third time BMS has been awarded the National Blue Ribbon School designation since 2006. We're really excited for our fine arts, our academics and certainly our athletics, even as of now when we're under construction for the new building. This is a great foundation, figuratively and literally, with the National Blue Ribbon School Award, and we're really excited about that."

The National Blue Ribbon Schools Program recognizes public and private elementary, middle, and high schools based on high performance or progress in closing achievement gaps among student subgroups. 

"We know the kind of work that goes into this accomplishment," Williamson County Schools Superintendent Jason Golden said. "Only 353 schools in the nation earned the honor this year. We are so proud of the students and staff at Brentwood Middle. There is a lot to celebrate."

Throuhgout the years, WCS schools have earned a total of 16 National Blue Ribbon School designations.
