Summary

HR452 is a resolution honoring Naoma and M. Allen Anderson Elementary School in Plano, Texas, for its selection as a 2008 No Child Left Behind--Blue Ribbon School. This prestigious designation is the highest a school can achieve in the United States and recognizes schools that demonstrate significant academic success or substantial improvements in student achievement.
