The DuBois Area Middle School is being honored again as a "School to Watch". 

The "School to Watch" program was launched in 2007.

With now a third designation, DuBois Area Middle School is one of two middle schools in the state to receive the designation consecutively. 

School officials said they are proud to be recognized on the national level. 

"It just shows that we're doing what good schools do and that we're always working to improve and helping our students be successful," said guidance counselor, Christine Kline. 

The school will receive its award at an assembly in April.
