Danville School Named California Blue Ribbon School

DANVILLE, CA — Los Cerros Middle School in Danville has been named a 2025 California Blue Ribbon School for its academic achievement, programming, and commitment to student success, the San Ramon Valley Unified School District announced.

Los Cerros is one of 31 schools statewide to receive this recognition, which honors schools that wold have been eligible for the National Blue Ribbon Schools program.

The school will receive official recognition from the DE and be formally celebrated at the California School Recognition Program in spring 2026.

“This award represents the hard work, passion, and care that our teachers and students bring to learning each day,” Los Cerros Principal Andy Briggs said in a statement. “At Los Cerros, we are committed to ensuring that every student feels seen, supported, and challenged to reach their full potential. This recognition is a testament to that shared commitment.”
