About this Article

Members of Naperville's Ss. Peter and Paul community long have been convinced their school provides a blue ribbon-quality education. Formal recognition by the U.S. Department of Education just confirmed it. Ss. Peter and Paul celebrated its national Blue Ribbon award during an all-school assembly Friday. It is one of 21 schools in Illinois and 269 in the country to receive the distinction.
