The small community of Petronila is excited because the elementary school there has just been awarded a national Blue Ribbon of Excellence.
Teachers and students were rewarded for their hard work Friday.
The students there test in the top 15-percent on the STAAR test. Petronila Elementary School was nominated for the honor back in January. Officials just got word that they are one of 26 schools in the state to be named a Blue Ribbon winner.
There are just 103 students in this school, which has seven teachers covering Pre-K through 5th grade.
