Today, Governor Wes Moore named Baltimore School for the Arts (BSA) among the 23 Maryland Blue Ribbon Schools for 2026-27.
Under Principal Rosiland Cauthen's leadership, BSA earned the honor based on factors including student performance on state and national assessments, and success in closing achievement gaps among student groups.
Baltimore School for the Arts was established in 1980 to create opportunities for talented students who aspire to careers in the arts. BSA offers pre-professional training in dance, film, music, theater, stage design and production, and the visual arts, along with a rigorous college preparatory academic program.
The schools will be formally honored at the Maryland State Board of Education meeting on Tuesday, December 8, and during the General Assembly legislative session next spring. Schools will also receive a Maryland Blue Ribbon School banner, flag, and award citations.
