In 2005, Malcolm Price Laboratory School was one of 5 schools nationwide that were selected to receive the First Amendment Project Schools Award, joining 16 other schools that had been previously selected.

First Amendment Schools (FAS) is a national reform initiative that is dedicated to the teaching and practice of the rights and responsibilities of freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of religion, freedom to petition, and freedom to assemble.  First Amendment Schools are shaped by four guiding principles: democratic freedom, rights and responsibilities, community engagement, and active citizenship.
