During a recent government meeting, officials expressed their appreciation for community members and highlighted significant achievements within local schools. Notably, Miller Perry Elementary School was recognized as a National Blue Ribbon School, an honor awarded to only the top 1% of schools in the United States. Principal Wilson, a Johnson County native, was commended for his leadership and commitment to serving students and teachers.

The award ceremony will take place on November 7 in Washington, D.C., with plans for a formal reception upon the school's return to celebrate this prestigious recognition. Community members are encouraged to participate in the upcoming celebration, reflecting the school’s pride and the collective effort of the local educational community.
