Bleary-eyed but proud, a small delegation of Newport Harbor High School representatives returned from Washington, D.C., on Monday, having received the highest national honor bestowed upon a school--the National Blue Ribbon Award.
The school is one of only 88 high schools in the country--15 in California, four in Orange County--to receive the award this year.
The Blue Ribbon program was developed by the secretary of education in 1982 to identify and recognize outstanding schools throughout the country.
