About the stamp design: Pictures artwork by Drew Struzan of a child doing schoolwork.

Key approaches included setting high standards, reducing class size, supporting teachers, and creating access to new technology.”
First Day City: The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held at the Village Amphitheater of San Diego Wild Animal Park in Escondido, California.
About the Celebrate the Century series: The USPS launched the Celebrate the Century series in 1998 to mark the end of the 20th century and herald the arrival of the 21st. The series includes 10 sheets of 15 stamps (150 in total), with each honoring important moments from a different decade (1900s, 10s, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s). At the time of completion, it was the longest and most ambitious commemorative stamp series in US history.
History the stamp represents: The quality of the American educational system has always been a high priority among citizens. In the 1990s, efforts were made to improve conditions in schools and focus students more on learning.
Parents, teachers, school officials, and community members all worked together to produce well-rounded students in the ‘90s. For example, many students were required to complete volunteer service to be eligible for graduation. Also, efforts were made to expose children to a wide variety of subjects by balancing their course loads. Outside sources, such as private businesses, helped schools obtain equipment like televisions and video cassette recorders.
The profound technological advances of the 1990s helped improve education. At the start of the decade, about three percent of all classrooms were connected to the Internet. By 1998, about half had Internet access, and that number continues to grow. Computers and the Internet became valuable tools which are sure to change the way students learn in the future.
The issue of school safety, which has always been a priority for educators and the community, moved to the forefront in the 1990s. As a result of safety concerns, uniforms became mandatory in many schools.
