The Nebraska Department of Education has recognized seven schools as Blue Ribbon Schools for the year 2025, highlighting their exemplary performance in education. To qualify for this honor, schools must demonstrate high achievement through state assessments or nationally normed tests, as well as effectively close achievement gaps between different student groups and the overall student body. Among the recognized institutions, Ezra Millard Elementary School in Millard, Nebraska, has been acknowledged for its outstanding academic excellence and commitment to its students and community.

In light of this achievement, the One Hundred Ninth Legislature of Nebraska has passed a resolution congratulating Ezra Millard Elementary School for receiving the Blue Ribbon designation. The resolution emphasizes the school's dedication to educational excellence and instructs that a copy of the resolution be sent to the school to commemorate this significant recognition.
